Thanks for your effort and for proposing the RFC so quick. But indeed, as
you said, this is really premature.

According to my interpretation the RFC proposes a potentially huge bc break
on internal functions usage while the competing (recently withdraw) RFC was
BC compatible regarding this. Having this proposal without a working patch,
so we can try the real impact it could have before form opinions, frankly,
doesn't sound like a good idea.

I know it's still a draft but, considering the RFC is aimed to v7.0, I hope
to see a working implementation before the feature freeze just like what
was exemplary made with the other previous withdraw proposals.

Thanks,
Márcio
