As a PHP developer (not an internals developer) - I love this proposal! Out of interest, is there a technical reason you couldn't use an existing token, such as => for this? If you could, it'd be almost identical to the syntax used in C#: *ThingList.Where(x => x > 7)* *PersonList.Where(p => (p.Gender == "M" && p.Age < 30))* Dan
