Would this prevent the keyword eval from being used within code being eval'd?
That appears to be the bug I'm running into, even though the keyword is only
used in contained javascript code, not php, even included as a comment it fails.

The patch seems not to work with tokenizer extension - the extension returns
wrong
tokens (T_EVAL instead of expected T_STRING).

I need this bug to be resolved.
I'm writing Javascript/CSS collector & minify library.
I would like to code like below.
JS::include(FILE_PATH)->include(FILE_PATH2)->include(FILE_PATH3);
having method name other than include() is pretty annoying.

At the moment (5.2.3 ) this is perfectly valid.
Class A{
function __call( $function, $args ){
if( $function == 'print' ){
print "MyPrint: {$args[0]}";
}
}
}
$a = new A();
$a->print( "hello" ); #<-- surprisingly, this is not an invalid use of a
keyword to the lexer.
# >> MyPrint: hello
but this
Class A{
function print( $args ){
print "MyPrint: {$args}";
}
}
$a = new A();
$a->print( "hello" );
Yields a parse error "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PRINT, expecting
T_STRING"
which appears to be an illogical design contstraint.
I've seen rather brutal slander for people attempting to perform this ( #14178
, this bug ) amounting to "hey, you suck, dont do that" without any rational
explanation.
So yes, I look forward to this feature being integrated.
