PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description: {} is better than [] for string access
Description:
------------
I am very upset that {} string access is being depreciated in PHP 6.
$foo = 'bar';
$foo{2} = 't';
In my opinion...
$foo{2} is MUCH easier to read and understand while developing, because
you know exactly what it means,
$foo[2] is ambiguous to read, and problematic during development because
$foo could be an array or a string, and in either case the code will
execute without errors or notices if $foo is not the vartype you intended
it to be.
