Aha ! No mentioning of the customizer as you promised last night?

Seriously though, regarding the proposed API, I am shocked about the reason why a new syntax is needed. To quote them:

"Our old [ and ] delimiters were easily confused with the way those characters are commonly used in English quotations and sometimes even in URLs."

Who uses square brackets for quotations? Are you kidding me? There are so many other things to develop and fix, and it's shame if not scandalous on how they choose to spend time and energy on things that are not crucial. Prioritizing items means nothing here, the whole thing is run like a big bureaucratic government. And this thing will be spanned over 3-4 versions... is "common sense" a foreign concept here?

Again, who confuses the [], or uses them as quotations?

(Moderators, please be gentle on me)!
