Is there any reason why this cannot / should not be implemented as a PHP 5 compatibility extension? I think those who never want to use it (PHP 6 purists) shouldn't have to have their binaries bloated by legacy code. It would also mean that the legacy implementation can be developed away from the new core, and not have any (negative) influence on it. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
