Most questions in this vein draw this magic line in the sand between developers and users. The truth is that this is a completely mythical line. Everybody is a developer, some just have more experience than others. A feature request that is interesting enough should eventually take care of itself because someone out there will write a decent implementation and, if the feature is big enough, an accompanying RFC. -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
