I do, and again this is purely a theoretical discussion right now.
However I find disturbing the resistance to such a proposal given that
what I hear from our users is a total support to introduce this
concept to PHP, even step by step.

So we should better begin to see where are the technical bottlenecks
and figure out a way to solve them instead of arguing about whether we
should do it or not. Because we will have to do it, whether we like it
or not.


So a few people want this therefore we all have to have it?
We need to sort out a list of priorities and then perhaps see if there is a majority demand for each?

Since somebody will obviously rewrite key libraries using this 'sexy' stuff, we are all then forced to have to work with it even if we can ignore it in our own code. ONE of these days I'd like to get back to putting some new functions in my own code base. I'm still working on a long list of 'strict' warnings across several projects and libraries :( Work that I don't make any money from but am having to do simply to keep things simple when the NEXT changes happen!
