\For the biggest changes i'd like to see the following:
1) Adding PECL/Phar as default extension
I really don't think we need phar in core, certainly not enabled by
default. If someone can make a good case for including it, I'd love
to hear it.
Easier distributing/deployment of stuff and phar even allows to use
the
packed files as is from within the package or unpacked without any
change. We use phar already for pear. Having the extension version
that
allows the mentioned untouched unpacking feature would help a lot of
people.
Sure, that's why the Phar is there, I don't contest that it is a
useful extension, but so are dozens of others inside PECL. To me it
does not mean every extension that is at all useful should be
included into the standard distro. If anything having in PECL allows
for quicker releases and easier upgrade process, since people will
mostly compile it in if it is in core, while pecl will 99% of the
time be a shared extension. This means built-in version will require
a PHP recompile to upgrade, something most people will not do, making
them use older, possibly buggy versions.
2) Add open_filename debug info to streams
What would this mean for performance and memory usage of file ops?
An additional malloc and strcpy on opening and an additional free
on closing. We could however limit actual use to --enable-debug
builds.
My preference we enable this feature only for debug builds.
