It’s disappointing that “I need to copy paste this code and it might not do what I expect” is more important to people than fixing things like the way switch statement does comparisons, which makes zero practical sense right now. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
