A PHP internals mailing list response critiquing a Pre-RFC proposal for a `.phpc` file extension that would enable a 'pure-code' or alternative syntax mode for PHP. The respondent argues the proposal is unnecessary complexity, comparing it to a Perl module that allows writing code in grammatically correct Latin. They note that strict mode proposals have historically been rejected in favor of moving the language in a consistent direction, and suggest using a static analyser if you want to enforce restrictions in your own codebase.
