The issue has been resurrected since at least PHP 3.0 days, and presumably before that. The biggest stumbling block, imho, is that it goes against the grain of the simplicity of PHP. I'm sure that it could be done technologically. But being able to do something doesn't make it the Right Thing to do. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
