Deprecated variables in strings? Or just when using the curly braces syntax for some reason? Unlike with every other entry there's no link but this sounds like the biggest change since PHP 4. Anyone know where to find more info?

PHP string interpolation has 3 possible syntaxes: $var, {$var} and ${var}. The last one is now deprecated. I've never seen it used in the wild, and it has some odd limitations. It's discussed in the RFC[1].

Interesting that one developer voted no (out of 32 developers in total). Wonder what the reasoning was? Seems like a change with small impact and reduced amount of code to maintain, so not lots of drawbacks.
