Let me agree with Greg here. We can not go back to the PHP 4.x way of
bundling PEAR. It's a PITA for both the PEAR people and the RM. PHP 5
uses the phar, which works brilliantly. So the fix here is to make
something *like* phar work with PHP 6 as well. If it was to be based on
streams (which I think it can only be), then we *need* some way of
marking this new user stream as being local in order for require and
include to work on those. Making a hack in PHP to allow "phar://"
streams to work is a bad idea, a C-extension can easily work here.
The point is to make local URL wrappers working, not only phar://.
Stanislav and Tony have a point, writing a custom extension to fix a
problem that we introduced is a bad idea and does not solve the
problem for anyone else but phar. If phar will be bundled or not does
not matter, this problem has to be solved anyway.
