Yes, I know it's simply a syntax change, but I dislike the whole dynamic variables thing, I think it's just bad form. In any other language you use a hash table for such things. The new syntax would simply be a facade for that, so it would be obvious you're trying to use the object for that purpose.

*shrug* It's not really important, was just a random idea.
