Rather than continuing this discussion, could you please create an RFC which summarizes your proposal, what it offers to PHP and maybe also what arguments people had against it? I have neither the time nor the motivation to read through 50 rather lengthy mails in order to figure out what this is about. Also discussion usually goes into a more constructive direction once more people can chime in (rather than just rehashing the same arguments among a few participants). Thanks, Nikita
