That would actually be worse, as it wouldn't be possible to pass them to methods with a `callable` hint or similars such as `array_map`. In general, I understand why there's a lot of fuss about BC compat here, but I don't see why providing them as separate file or using something like a "global include" is a problem. Is/would something like that (be) possible via ini setting? Marco Pivetta http://twitter.com/Ocramius http://ocramius.github.com/
