I think it is a bit funny that when returning references from functions you get something looking kind of this in the end:
$a = & & $b;

That is, I think it would be more logic if a function that is specified to return a reference wouldn't need to be set on the return side to return a reference.. since I doesn't make my self clear, here is as an example what I mean:

class a {
  var $b;
  function &fc() {
    return $this->b;
  }
}

$c = new a();
// A)
$myvar = $c->fc();
-----------------------------------
Now this will not work as I seem would be logical, instead one need to do the last line:
// B)
$myvar = &$c->fc();

This seems funny.. My logic says that since the function is defined to return a reference it would be enough (A).. no need to do it again like in (B). This is true when passing a reference: somefunc($myvar) will result in passing an reference if the func is defined like
function somefunc(&$arg)


Is there any chance of a change?
Opinions, comments etc. ?
