Description:
------------
I see the documentation as inconsistent in its recommendation of how to access a string offset. PHP used to use brackets for accessing a character at an offset in a string, then braces, now back to brackets. http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.types.type-juggling.php says:
"PHP 4 introduced the new curly bracket syntax to access characters in string, use this syntax instead of the one [using brackets] presented above"

But then it links you to the part on string access by character (http://us2.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php#language.types.string.substr), which states:
"[Characters within strings] may also be accessed using braces like $str{42} for the same purpose. However, using square array-brackets is preferred."

Why does that part of the documentation still say to "use this syntax [with braces] instead of the one [using brackets]"?
