old_function() shouldn't be part of the language standard IMO.
I can't think of any other things, but we will probably come up with some
when we get into the more semantic descriptions. We might want to drop
$array[] support and $string[n] for string indexing (using $string{n}
instead although I still haven't implemented it).
I still haven't had a chance to look at how far you have gotten with
describing the grammar. I will try and take a look at it tomorrow. Anyway,
I think we will resolve these issues when we start working together on
actually describing the stuff. That is something I definitely want to do
together but I'm aware that a kick start of drafting the grammar is
important to get things rolling.
