Thanks for the clarification, I should have been more specific but I saw you used `\$x` in your previous message and I was wondering if this syntax is unambiguous. Basically: ```php \$x => $x + 1; // One (not typed) argument, no parenthesis needed \(int $x) => $x + 1; // Typed, parenthesis needed \($x, $y) => $x + $y; // Multiple arguments, parenthesis needed ``` I don't think it's really important but it would be pretty handy syntax in my humble opinion. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
