The big reason for PCRE is the fact that other, rather important
extensions such as filter depend on it. SPL is also used by other
extensions, which could be a "need" reason.

Well, theoretically I can imagine reason why somebody would like to
disable them - e.g., if I need super-high-performance server and I
absolutely must squeeze out every last bit of cpu/memory usage
_and_ I don't do neither SPL nor regular expressions - I might want
to disable it.
In any case, I see the reasons why we *want* it enabled. But I'd
like to hear any reasons why we *need* it enabled - i.e. any vital
stuff that can't work with SPL/PCRE disabled?
