There was a recent proposal on the PHP-DEV list to add a syntax similar to
Python's for arrays (in PHP, arrays serve as both lists and dictionaries,
though usually not at the same time. Though several of the language
developers were marginally positive about the idea, I found it interesting
how much of a controversy ensued.

I'm really starting to think that much of a given language's style is
arbitrary; the rationalizations come later, once the fear of change sets
in.
