Ummm, maybe your speaking alien, but could you clarify how that solves
the problem you are addressing?
First, if every version of the language would have it's own tag, then
there would be no need to maintain BC beyond reasonable necessity.
Second, hosing providers would be more apt to uprade. They would simply
add new module without removing the old one. This way both old and new
scripts would work perfectly fine without the need for some kind of
compatibility mode.
Sounds like whole different nightmare. I for one don't want to have to
yeah - they did this with php3 -> php4, it was a mightmare according to the devs,
not so long they reiterated the 'never again' stand point on
internals@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
go through all of my code and change <php to <php5. True, it's a 10
second script, but then my code doesn't work with <php, ACK now I need
two versions of MY code to ensure it works for PHP4. No thanks.
