If they are to be keywords, I'd argue we should use the dash variant -- the reason being that with the dash, there can be no conflict with existing constant, variable, or function names. I know I've had a fair number of each named both "readonly" and "writeonly". -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Project Lead | matt...@zend.com Zend Framework | http://framework.zend.com/ PGP key: http://framework.zend.com/zf-matthew-pgp-key.asc -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
