You *could* do that, yes, but considering the massive effort needed just to implement bigints, I don’t see the point. It’d also mean we’d have three different integer types and four different numeric types if bigints pass, which is even more work for people handling ovals. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
