Lester,
I think he was referring to something like the MySQL/bcmath/etc
extension where it ships in core, but is disabled by default (requires
a compile-time option).
I think what you interpreted it as is basically just what PECL is for
and how it works? Considering that it would basically be just `pecl
install PSRClassLoader`? And at that point there's no reason for
anything in the core (even reserving a namespace). That's how other
extensions (even popular ones like apc) work now...
Unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean...?
Actually the "reserve the namespace" is probably the important piece of the
jigsaw?
Also while Linux 'installs' can easily 'recompile', windows builds are
necessarily pre-compiled, so what is compiled in and what is available via an
extension becomes more important.

1- The same as you wrote. Having it in SPL and in PHP 5.4
2- Have it in PHP 5.4 as an external extension (FIG, PSR or PSG),

3- As an external extension, disabled by default. This would require
PHP core to reserve the namespace for us.
You are missing 4: not have it at all (which would get my +1).
3 would be acceptable if external extensions were downloaded separately to
the core distribution ... but I suppose that IS 4 ;)
Isn't it about time we considered a better distribution model for additions
like this?
