The choice of emotionally charged term is up to whoever uses it, my point was just that this was a deliberate intentional decision, not an unintentional mistake, and any change there has BC consequences. I think this point is well made by now, so unless there is something new to say, I'll refrain from discussing it further. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
