This is why I stopped reading the dev mailing list. It was too frustrating to see (IMO) awesome features and suggestions constantly swatted down for (again, IMO) stupid reasons. Not searchable through search engines? Give me a break! I didn't know I was supposed to be writing code for Google. There are _so many_ higher priorities. I think PHP is going to remain all but stagnant until there is a sea change in the core developers. I'm not sure what their true motives are... laziness? underlying dislike for the language? Whatever it is, all they seem to do is swat down every request, even when (as is the case here) the users are _begging_ for it. It's like if they can come up with any reason at all not to do it, then they don't. "We already use square brackets for other stuff." Give me a f--king break.
