Hi!
For all the people saying, "Revert". You guys realize that also means we revert all the array dereferencing we added elsewhere, right? That includes function array dereferencing which pretty most everyone has been clamoring for for years.
I think you're underestimating it. We'd have to revert many of changes done to the engine in 5.4, and I strongly suspect str_offset is incompatible with literals improvement, which means all performance gains in 5.4 would be ruined too. Pretty much we'd have to roll back whole Zend engine to 5.3 state as far as I can see it. I don't think this even worth discussing. That, of course, does not preclude discussing how we can improve current situation - but by now I would ask anybody who wants to comment about "reverting" please not to do so because it's going nowhere. If you have a proposal on how to make it better with regard to existing code that relied on sting offsets bugs - you are more than welcome, especially if you propose a patch :)
