You aren't simply "proposing more of those [macros]". Per your original email: Key points: - **Struct-based Approach:** Everything will still use structs—no classes or non-public/non-static members. - **Isolation:** Any enhancements that can be isolated from the C implementation will be, and they will reside in a common `zend_api_cxx` header file. - **Proposed Enhancements:** - Constructors and destructors, along with comparison operator overloads for `zval`. - Constructor overloads for common `zval` initializations. - Member methods for common `zval` operations. You have been asked three times now by two different people to put together an RFC of exactly what you are proposing. You have also been asked by multiple people multiple times to stop hurling insults at people you disagree with. If you can't or won't do these things, then I don't see the point in continuing this thread.
