No need to be so sensitive. It was just a humorous way of making the point
that just because PHP does something doesn't mean it's necessarily the best
idea. Suffice it to say I disagree about the quality of PHP language design
but it wasn't the point of the comment nor is it on topic.

Do you really think someone looking for a function to break up a string into a
list of strings would ever think of looking up "explode" in an index if he
hadn't already used PHP or (shudder) VBScript?

Oops, there I go again.
