Hi folks. I've added a bit more reasoning to the short-functions RFC, so it's worth giving another read-over. It was also recently featured on an episode of PHP Internals if you want a more verbal case made. :-) Unless there is any significant feedback, I'll be calling a vote for this RFC sometime late this week (Thursday/Friday-ish).
