That's totally unrealistic. The old API will remain forever (well, we'll examine the case again in 20 years...). I had planned to propose something for 7.0 but I didn't have enough time. > I hope that you take this seriously and tell me if there are any > limitations that prevents this from happening. I think that, while attractive, using the same syntax for object methods and scalar 'pseudo-'methods is too ambiguous. We just need to solve two issues : intuitive order of arguments and nested call readability. We don't need to implement the whole OO stuff for scalars. Except this detail, no limitation IMO.
