Competition is good and my past experiences is that in cases like this one, it is nearly an utopia to think that the other party will actually try to reach your needs. So the only way to actually get a RFC representing what you want to do is to have a competitive one. In the other hand, I had other cases where the counter part happily added options and co to have an objective RFC. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
