So by the same logic this should be PHP's way to initialize array elements,
right?
$arr['foo'] => 123;
But it is not. Obviously we both know that this is the correct syntax:
$arr['foo'] = 123;
So that is why I think it would be more consistent in PHP for object
initializers to use "=>" instead of "=."
But, I myself will not belabor the point beyond this message. Either others
will agree with you or they will suggest to change to "=>" too.

Hmm.
Ok, I will let Arnold reply to you on this if he feels that your reply did not
address his concerns.
