Re: [PHP-DEV] call_builtin_function_array() possible? From: Cynic (cynic <email protected>)

Well, this would be probably completely useless (at least I
can't think of a meaningful use of this right now), but... is
there a reason this can't be implemented in PHP? I know, time
is a very precious commodity, and I wouldn't ask (or suggest)
for an implementation of this if it would require extra work
besides making pre- and post- increment / decrement in one
statement. But if allowing ++$i++ (which I definitely consider
useful) makes ++$i-- possible without additional effort, why
disable it? It's possible to write completely useless junk
software without this feature too.

Lack of knowledge of C prevents me from going to try and do
this myself.
