Yup. I'm leaning towards Richard's idea of a predefined constant rather than a new keyword which would effectively do the same thing. The only issue I can see coming out of using the constant would be it's represented value. If a compile-time keyword were used, at least it could be caught there without running into any value clashing issues.

Actually, 'default' is already a keyword (switch!), while _ is an actual function name (gettext). So default, syntactically, can work, while _ can't. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
