I like to use Object Oriented PHP, but absolutely abhor the use of " -> " instead of " . "

. is used to concate strings, so no.

Just use namespaces instead. You're not doing real OOP anyway.

You could model all dereferencing using string concatenation with ., and then parse them into -> later

One would think this would be as symbol as swapping round the lexing strings for CONCAT_SYMBOL and INDIRECT_SYMBOL (or whatever they are) but you obviously haven't seen the parser for PHP.

It's open-source, so no matter what you fix the developers will ignore you.

The point is that you fix it for personal use, not that you try to get the main branch fixed.

It's not a fix to begin with, just OP being bitchy.
Although in reality, PHP is unfixable.

You're forgetting that most `popular' programming languages haven't heard of such simple, yet very useful extensibility techniques.

switch to python, perl, lua, ruby, clojure, or pretty much anything. even ruby on rails is better than php.
