It doesn't. This is a fringe feature, as evidenced by the fact that you are having a hard time convincing people that it is needed, and thus shouldn't overload an existing operator. Visually it would be confusing to take any well-known operator and give it a different obscure meaning. But yes, syntax-wise ^ could be made to work, the implementation problem I referred to is lower-level than that. Properties simply don't carry this information with them so a lot of things would have to change internally for this to ever work and if a clean implementation could be found, like I said, adding it to the reflection functions is the proper place. -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
