Hey, I think we could use "yield from" as operator here. Yes, BC. So, I won't make "from" a keyword, but rather specify an own token for "yield from" (T_YIELD_FROM). That way we have no BC break, except someone tries to yield a constant named "from". I think that's a really minor break … and in case this breaks someones code, he needs to wrap the constant in parenthesis: "yield (from)". We can have nice syntax here with a minimal break, so, then, why not? Thanks, Bob -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
