Hi :) I have a few questions regarding the comparable RFC:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/comparable Couldn't find the thread in my history and thus cannot respond directly to any of the past threads. Maybe not that bad after more than a year of silence. :) My question might sound silly but I am genuinely interested in the explanation: why `compareTo` and not `comparedTo` as method name? Is it simply because of Java? To me it sounds kind of wrong: if ($this->compareTo($other) === -1) { } Especially if we add a nice Ordering Enum with some real behavior to the game: if ($this->compareTo($other)->isLess()) { } Compare this to: if ($this->comparedTo($other)->isLess()) { } This gets close to what I would understand as proper English. Then again there might be valid reasons for the former name that I am not aware of?!? There are other things that I think should be added along with this RFC. However, I need to investigate a bit further first before going into detail here. -- Richard "Fleshgrinder" Fussenegger -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
