Hi Sammy,
> https://wiki.php.net/rfc/list-syntax-trailing-commas my thoughts on this: 1) having list separators (commas) signals "there is one more item" (thats the semantic meaning of a comma in a list, right?) 2) you are right, arrays vs. other lists behave inconsistent however, if i take those two assumptions into account the solution i get to is not to allow the confusing (and IMHO bad style) of commas at the end everywhere, it is to be more strict about it and disallow it for arrays - which would also be consistent and make more sense (to me), which in return means a more clean and intuitive language. However, that would be a BC breaking change, so not for a 7.1. So my suggestion would be to put this to sleep, live with what we have, and improve (by removing this from arrays) with the next major. best regards, PP -- Peter Petermann ProtonMail: ppeterm...@protonmail.com (encrypted / based in .ch) Email: ppeterman...@gmail.com - get my public PGP key from SKS Keyservers PGP Key: http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x0E6DBD675836A5C7
