The origins of PHP syntax are irrelevant. What I am objecting to is
that people moving to PHP from other languages look at the current PHP
syntax and see that it is different from what they are used to, and
they want it to change so that they do not have to cope with the
differences. If they cannot learn to cope with the differences then
they should not bother trying to use a different language.
