God bless the PHP "design" committee - deprecate something, introduce a
new syntax, then deprecate the new syntax and re-introduce the old
syntax. A real step forward for the "keep the language simple" principle
that they so fervently claim to adhere to.
It sometimes seems that there's no long-term vision at all when it comes
to the development of PHP.

There's several things described in that document which, IMO, show that
the developers are just trying to pander to novices <insert flame-war
here> and oversimplify the language by adding "features" which make
certain things superficially easier to do, but will actually end up
leading to bad coding practices in the long-run. i.e.
* The "pseudo" goto
* Adding a constructor to interface definitions - that literally makes
no sense at all.
* Late static binding - no no no, that will make people assume that
polymorphism of statics makes some kind of sense, and that it's a
sensible idea.
However, I can only applaud the plan for the removal of magic_quotes and
register_globals. :)
