We can simply allow using features that are widely supported and actually useful. For example, declarations between statements, and C++-style line comments with //. Though for consistency with the rest of the codebase, perhaps we should stick to C-style /* */ comments. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
