If you wrote something like this in PHP you'd necessarily be searching
for patterns in the code. In C you'd be working with tokens directly -
coding style wouldn't be an issue.
Isnt that what we have ext/tokenizer for?
Wouldn't that be relatively slow?
Also there's the psychological difference between being presented with a
binary and being presented with a script (but then again I suppose you could
argue that there's nothing to prevent the embed SAPI coming into play)...
