Hi all, As there has been no further feedback since my last update, and it is 5 weeks since I first placed it Under Discussion, I would like to move ahead with voting on my RFC to Deprecate and Remove Bareword (Unquoted) Strings. Voting will close on 2017-03-22, at 22:00 UTC, i.e. two weeks from now. Please read and vote on the RFC at https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate-bareword-strings In particular, note the reasoning for using an E_WARNING, as I suspect this is the most controversial aspect. If you do have any queries or concerns that weren't already raised, please do let me know. Regards,

The voting on this RFC has now closed, and the RFC was unanimously accepted 41:0 (I'm sad that one more person didn't vote to bring it to the magic number 42...) I have made one small amendment to the proposed wording: at Andrea's suggestion, I have capitalised the "E" of "Error" in the phrase "this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP". Assuming this 1-bit change is not a controversial, please could someone with appropriate karma merge in the Pull Requests for php-src (https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/2404) and php-langspec (https://github.com/php/php-langspec/pull/193). Thank you all very much for approving my first RFC, and I look forward to contributing more in future. :) Regards,
