If I understand the "Syntax" section correctly, then int, float, numeric, bool, and string are added as new reserved words (keywords). This would break existing code, for instance userland classes named "String". However, looking at the patch in http://bit.ly/1uADQnD I do not see an addition of new tokens. So maybe there is no problem at all. In any case, I think it would be best to build on the great work Nikita did with the AST-based parser for PHP 7 and refactor the compiler to allow reserved words as names for namespaces, classes, interfaces, ... *before* we introduce new reserved words (and thus BC breaks). -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
