Closing this as PHP 6 doesn't exist anymore and {} is not deprecated in 5.4.

Description:
------------
I am very upset that {} string access is being depreciated in PHP 6.
$foo = 'bar';
$foo{2} = 't';
In my opinion...
$foo{2} is MUCH easier to read and understand while developing, because you
know exactly what it means,
$foo[2] is ambiguous to read, and problematic during development because $foo
could be an array or a string, and in either case the code will execute without
errors or notices if $foo is not the vartype you intended it to be.
