But I think the point is this function has no business in the core language. Now we can satisfy that. It IS still obscure, but thats why I won't use it :) Those who want to be obscure can choose to be on their own dime. We should not encourage it though, we'll end up like VBScript, a language of rules and their exceptions.

Given the suggestion to just have people who already use gettext to define function _($string) { return gettext($string); } .. this argument doesn't hold water, since it'll still be in the code, and still be as obscure. Those people would have to _choose_ not to use _(), and they can already make that choice now. -chuck -- Charles Hagenbuch, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Some fallen angels have their good reasons. -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
