I have taken enough compiler construction courses, albeit a long time
ago. If you have recently read a book are all excited about your new
knowledge - I congratulate you. I know of at least 2 languages that do
support it, if the languages only simulate/use some trick at a higher
level, I'm absolutely fine with it.

Just so you know I am neither a fan of such practices, not propagating
it (practices like reaching out to the caller's space etc.). But I am
converting code from one language, where such a thing is heavily used,
which is where my question comes from.

Life is not always so cut and dry, there are always shades of grey in
between your black and someone's white :)

I want to thank you for writing, but I'm afraid your advice is
absolutely useless.

Andy.

P.S. Why you are even handling PHP related questions, when you have
nothing to contribute, is beyond me altogether, but I thank you for
your time.
