New Comment:
It would have been nice if we did this from 4.3.0 on, but if we do it
now it would really matter anymore, and also we are now in bug0-fix
only mode for PHP 4. (And obviously this request doesn't make sense for
PHP 5).

Description:
------------
I've been waitning for the version 5 of PHP. and I've been actually
preparing for the next major release of PHP like this:
<?php
class SiteBase {
function __construct() { // do something }
// for PHP 4.x
function SiteBase() { $this->__construct(); }
// public
function Show() { ... }
// private
function IsRoot() { ... }
} // end class
?>
and because public, private or protected modifiers are not yet keywords
in 4.x so I had to comment them every time.
But I think it would be better if the PHP 4.x just can recognise them
as keywords but do nothing for them. I mean they can be "reserved" for
the next version of PHP.
Expected result:
----------------
<?php
class PHP5Class { // but it will work in PHP4 too.
public $Var1;
private $Var2;
protected $var3; // works in PHP4 but the modifier 'protected' will
be ignored and replaced with 'var' and so on.
// 'static' or 'final' also ingored in PHP 4
static protected function F1() { ... }
// but this should not be permitted because the name 'protected' is
reserved
function protected() { ... }
}
?>
