i hope not. this should be about what's cool for developers, the speed increase is not a compelling reason.. the debate is "does this make code easier to read/write/maintain?" I think it doesn't, and therefore am against it.

Hello Wez,
well it would. However 5.1 aims to be a major speed improvement and that's what the idea is about.

It would reduce the errors I inevitably get whenever using a complex feature like substr(). The three choices:
1) substr($a, strlen($a) - 1); 2) $a{strlen($a) - 1} 3) $a{-1}
It's pretty obvious that the 3rd choice lowers the potential for all kinds of bugs (mistypign, wrong parameter name, incorrect parameter placement), and is much more readable. For those who already know how {} works in PHP, it's also obvious what it does at the first look without any speculation.
