It's another one of those bonkers changes. It changes behaviour of already existing syntax. This sort of meddling with the language is difficult to detect, and there is little value in fixing it. Don't piss off users for purety. I suggest you read this too: http://derickrethans.nl/bc-dont-be-evil.html > The major version change seems like the only time to get this done in PHP.
