i changed from readonly to readable, which means the new keyword makes it
public for any read access, that is:
So much for "readable" being obvious (i.e. you have to explain it).
private readable $abc;
- class itself can read and write
- public for everybody when reading, inside & outside of the class
protected readable $abc;
- class itself can read and write
- sub-class can read and write
- public for everybody when reading, inside & outside of the class
public readable $abc;
- just as public alone
Does anyone apart from me wonder why we need to bloat the language for an obscure feature like this? Please take a step back, take a deep breath, count to 10 and that's *really* what the PHP community has been waiting for.
Please don't extend PHP until it accepts something like
final static private readable $x;
because it could turn your brain into guacamole if you have to read code like that ;-)
PS: If anyone wants me to write a patch or test for "readable": No problem, I can write a patch disallowing "readable" quite quickly and I'd even sit down to write a test failing if readable is allowed in declarations (-:C
