What's the point? If only those who agree can talk, I'm not sure about the
result...
If Stas doesn't like the proposed syntax, how can he express his dislike in
a sufficiently positive manner? (it's a honest candid question; I'm asking
it even after receiving nice and harsh responses to my patch proposal last
summer)

Rasmus' answer was about balance. I guess it's hard to strongly define what
a language should be; there is no drawable line. Each step is questionable
in some way, This balance is the strength of PHP, the root of its
flexibility.
But I totally understand your frustration.
