are you saying this feature is too esoteric for you ? :)

besides i didnt create the double quoted support and thats not even what im
arguing about anyway.  the syntax ive mentioned was there in a pre-5.2.4
release (discovered it didnt actually make the cut for the 5.2.4)  it save
you from having to write ugly little helper methods and thats a benefit i
wouldnt mind having.

php has a great dilema, it wants to cater to a wide range of users; from
newbs to experts.  thats a massive undertaking and well if youre gonna do
it, you may as well go whole-hog IMHO.
