To avoid BC breaks we should try to avoid major syntax changes. We could
make new applications "hide" legacy though, something like "use new;" which
would remove deprecated and legacy functions from the global namespace.

OK, ok. Let me clear some things up here.
We don't want it to make things more object-oriented or whatever. The real
motivation is to give us a chance to make a much cleaner, much nicer array
API without breaking BC. We can keep the legacy array_* and unprefixed
functions, but we can also create "

Given this code:

Sounds good. CoffeeScript (a lightweight language with JS semantics that
compiles to JS) has a existential operator, "?", and this looks similar and
would be very nice. It's not the same thing, of course. It also reminds me
of JavaScript's || behaviour.

Sounds great. Python has something similar for tuples, would be good if PHP

Are there any BC concerns? Don't see why this could break something.

Like in Lua, where you can write
obj:method(12)

obj.method(obj, 12)
But OOP-like syntax on non-object data is still weird. The question about
data manipulation behavior (is it a pointer like other objects or is it a

Obviously. This is simply the means to provide the new API without breaking
BC. If people think this is acceptable then sure, let's plan an API.

It's possible, but we have to write too much code just to identify all
possible overloads. If methods are overloaded by their signature, surely
the PHP code will be more clean.
Well, I'm just wondering if it is possible without start a war, I'm not
sure how expensive it could be.

Reviewing the php array functions it seems to me that a new API would benefit
from some sort of more intuitive organization, possibly around meta concepts
specific to use.
For example, I want to re-order an array (order is a meta-concept in

much cleaner APIs for strings and arrays, but the legacy APIs need to
stick around.

Hi internals!
When a large floating point number is cast to an integer we currently
have very low-level C behavior (integer overflow and wraparound):
$ /c/php-5.4.1/php -r 'var_dump((int) 40);'
int(-294967296)
$ /c/php-5.4.1/php -r 'var_dump((int) 60);'
int(1705032704)
As a fun
I'd like to see some version of the null-coalescing ternary operator
