To be fair, it was never claimed that Smarty WAS PHP. The fact that
something is possible in PHP is no gaurantee that it will be possible
in Smarty; however, the fact that something ISN'T possible in PHP is
often indicative that it won't be doable in Smarty. Ergo the PHP4
argument. The PHP5 sarcasm is rather unfair.
Its not that the idea is bad (or hasn't already been considered) its
just that it is completely non-BC. I would think it would make a good
candidate for a future version but at the same time, I think it will
promote several questionable practices for template usage (such as
deeply nested hierarchies).
Best Regards.
