Hi, Arno Requesting that will at least require a major-release (f.e. PHP 6.0) ... but I would rather request to add a notice or warning to the documentation of references to remind stuff like that. http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.references.php I think this is stuff more people will stumble over ...
