Thank you so, so, so much for actual constructive criticism!!! > The concatenating assignment operator "%=" shouldn't change. It should stay the same ".=" The reason for using "%" was that I wanted to use "." for objects: instance.my_method() I don't think "%" will be used as much due in Snow, due to the new "smart strings": "{a_variable} and {a_method()}" > Accessing instance variables/methods should be by using '@' rather than '.' as that is becoming an > implied standard and php folk are already used to using '.' for string concatenation. This looks weird, no: @instance@var@subvar@sub_method() and what about accessing static vars and methods? > The setting of parameter types and defaults on methods is too heavy and not what people expect. I would put them back into method declaration. Yes it's heavy, but as you always need to have a docblock to write "acceptable" PHP code, I chose not to duplicate the argument names. > This doesn't make a lot of sense. No this should go, I decided that a couple of weeks too. But the problem its trying to solve is a real one. Your proposal looks good, but how would it work on a new variable?
