Why is having a special syntax that is considered callable and conflates instantiation and method calls (which are ultimately separate things) better than having the injector accept a class name and use reflection as required to instantiate that? >> "I only skimmed the RFC" > > I find this very dissapointing.

Since it seemed an obvious question to me (and apparently not just me, based on /r/php), and didn't seem to be addressed that I could see, I thought it was better to just ask it rather than stay silent and either ask it several days later or vote -1 without explanation. > In particular reading the sections "Can't be used as strings in class > properties" and "Can't be used in string based configuration" would > give examples where the RFC is of benefit in a way that is not related > to DIC libraries. Honestly, I still don't find either of them particularly persuasive, for the same reasons as the aforementioned DIC example. They're trivially special cased without muddying instantiation and method calls. Hence my "are there analogues for this elsewhere" question.
