Re: [PHP-DEV] Allow two words keywords
Such a nice syntax. Even better than @@ and @. I wish this could get more attention/traction. On Wed, Jul 29, 2020, 19:46 David Rodrigues wrote: > Oh, you are right!

Re: [PHP-DEV] Allow two words keywords
Oh, you are right! "yield from" is not common for me currently, so I really skipped it. In this case, is there some problem to apply it to Attribute case? "using attribute(Attribute())" or something like that?
