var_export54

[schmunk42]

@uldisn Why is var_export54 needed in the generator, is this some PHP 5.4 specific code?

[uldisn]

var_export output array in old style: array('a'=>1,'b' =>2), but var_export54: ['a'=>1,'b' =>2].

I still using PHP 5.4

Hmm, I don't get it ... can't you just use the var_export function from your current PHP version?!

When you're on 5.4 and you export with the above, you get a result which is not usable on 5.4 - as far as I understand.

Ah, I just noticed that short array syntax was introduced in 5.4 - so it's usable.

But I don't think we need an extra function, just for some code-style candy.

Btw ... Yii2 has this :)
