Hang on. This is not the time to nitpick things in various RFCs that have already been answered time and time again. An ini setting would be insane because taking an app that works on one machine and putting it on another would completely break the app. Hello anything using Composer, hello any CMS, hello any system moving to a new host that doesn't let you change ini settings, or you dont know how. A declare statement in the top of the file changing how that file handles things is hardly a problem, and is exactly how a lot of other languages do things. Hello JavaScript. It seems like you didn't read anything now you're just saying "it's bad" a lot. Please don't do that. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
