So, both [] and {} access is deprecated?

http://uk.php.net/string

"String access and modification by character

Characters within strings may be accessed and modified by specifying the
zero-based offset of the desired character after the string in curly braces.

Note: For backwards compatibility, you can still use array-brackets for the
same purpose. However, this syntax is deprecated as of PHP 4. "

Or have they changed their minds and the (more sensible) array-like access is
back as the preferred method?
