Hey internals, Since it's safe to say that the Attributes v2 RFC has passed, I wanted to make a separate thread based on the comment by Rowan Tommins in the PHP namespace policy thread. This is a quote from his comment:
> One prefix doesn't make a trend. "PhpToken" is a different case - it's a > token of PHP source code, so the prefix isn't anything to do with > avoiding name collisions, it's a natural clarification. > > To be honest, I'd be perfectly happy with the attributes RFC using the > class name "Attribute", just as we use "Iterator", "Closure", > "Exception", etc, etc. At which point the whole thing's a non-issue. I do strongly agree with him and I believe we should rename `\PhpAttribute` to simply `\Attribute` before the PHP 8 release in order to improve consistency with other classes and interfaces e. g. Iterator, ArrayAccess, Countable. It would also make the attribute class definition look more aesthetically pleasing: ``` <?php <<Attribute>> class Test {} ``` I am ready to make an RFC for this if the replies are mostly positive, so please, express your opinions! Best regards, Benas Seliuginas P.S: this is my second email account so hopefully it won't get marked as spam. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
