If one takes a step back, current well used annotation IS provided but not cleanly documented in the docbloc material that is a major element of legacy code. There is clearly a case for improving the usage of this style of working, and adding 'attributes' to the rest of the rest of this annotation seems to me to be the best way forward for a STOCK PHP install. Every current IDE I've seen will correctly display docbloc annotation and has the option to disable tags in that code if required. I'm looking at the <?hh examples in hack and thinking that this is an example of where an 'hack compatibility' extension to PHP may have a place, but adoption some hack rules such as <<>> then imples that <? code should work the same as <?hh code. That does not seem the right way forward for users who have no intention to use hack and have no access to it on their hosting? More important, and subtle differences will cause even more problems? So can we not maintain a more flexible roadmap that cherry picking other languages directly? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
