"The result of using other operators on strings is undefined."
RTFM?? That line isn't in the manual you moron! You just made it up!
Add it to the manual then, instead of improving your product. What a
bunch of jackasses.
THIS is in the manual:
String conversion to numbers
When a string is evaluated as a numeric value, the resulting value and
type are determined as follows.

Here's your statement:
"PHP has two string operators ('.' and '.=', RTFM). The result of using
other operators on strings is undefined."

If I leave the status as it is, noone will read it again.
I'm doing an article comparing idiosyncrasies of PHP vs ASP. Can I get
a statement from the PHP community along the lines of:
"It is the opinion of the PHP Community that ideally, bitwise AND
should work on strings, and bitwise OR should not. While this may
appear tremendously stupid, it is actually quite logical and
intelligent."

We won't be changing this, because we don't see a need for performing
bitwise logical operations on strings.
If you feel so strongly about it, you are welcome to submit a patch to
the developer list and see if enough people think it's worthwhile
including in PHP.
Please keep the status of this report as it is.

Then why can you add strings with +?
Why can you logically AND strings with &?
Why can you multiply strings with *?
Does consistency matter in the slightest to you people?
