Error Control Operator (@) vs this->

[CezaryDanielNowak]

Hey, there is conflict in operator names

Valid PHP code: $fp = @fopen('path/to/file', 'ab');

mammouth code: fp = @fopen('path/to/file', 'ab') and it's compiled to $fp = $this->fopen('path/to/file', 'ab');

maybe @@fopen or (0)fopen or \@fopen notation for error control operator would be good ?

try catch works fine; the @ is bad practice anyway http://derickrethans.nl/five-reasons-why-the-shutop-operator-should-be-avoided.html
