Hi, I absolutely agree. I initially started writing the RFC without iterable_count(), but later I decided to include it for completeness, so that both iterator_*() functions have a proposed alternative. Of course, and for the reasons mentioned I made a vote for each of them separately. M. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
