For concatenating strings, you could use the `&` char like in [ASP](http://www.tizag.com/aspTutorial/aspString.php) alternatively..\r\n\r\nI know that this thing won't be realized ever, but after working in PHP with this annoying arrow so many years, I think it's time to change something.\r\n\r\nBest regards,\r\n- Jannik."}}
