Looking to fix a doc bug report or two this morning, I came
across http://bugs.php.net/53614 referring to the ${...}
interpolation syntax. I recall when I first started with PHP,
this pretty much had equal status with {$...}, but has fallen
away in the documentation to the extent that there's now only
a single isolated example of it, with no descriptive text at
all. I was really surprised at how low this syntax has fallen,
with even one @php.net responder being surprised that it worked
at all.
 
So:

- AFAIR, this usage has not been deprecated - is that correct?

- If not, should the manual make more prominent mention of it?

- ... and if so how? A passing mention? A few examples? Or
  given full equality?

- Or should even the one mention be removed and the whole thing
  just quietly dropped?

I think, given the current situation, I'd be inclined to just
drop the one passing example and have done with it, but I don't
think I have the right to make such a decision unilaterally.
However, I'm more than happy to implement whatever the consensus
decides.


Cheers!

Mike
