Hey guys!
People are complaining over at Reddit [1]
While the "STD" is slightly humorous, it is unneeded verbosity, and
will lead to pointless arguments in the future of whether other
features in the future should catch the STD name, or whether they
should be directly under PHP. I would recommend not using it.
I don't care about case, though there may be a slight argument that
upper-casing initialisations is the 'standard' in PHP core.
It can only be the "standard" if it has been documented as such and everyone
follows it. If it was not documented as such from the start of the project
then it does not qualify. It may have become the most commonly used in a
selection of alternatives, but that does not give anyone the right to now
say that it has become the standard and should be enforced. That strikes me
as being dictatorial and authoritarian, as well as requiring large amounts
of effort without offering any tangible benefits. I'm "consistency" is not a
valid benefit in my book.
