It might slow the process down because on every assignment you have to make sure it's not a final variable. Until we really know how much that slows it down, I'm not sure that is much of an issue. We should really focus on deciding whether or not we want the 'final' functionality. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
