Is it possible to change the object operator “->” to “.”, so accessing class methods would look like that: $user.add() instead of $user->add()?
I guess that this is not a very smart question, but you have to agree, that when you type “->” You have two symbols for one of which you have to press SHIFT which is ways more complicated then “.”. And the dot looks prettier.
It may be possible to do that by changing the code parser. You will of course need to test this carefully and then recompile PHP. You cannot do this from within PHP, only by rewriting the C source code.
