Plus the double-checking is super messy.
One thing I really want to work towards in the future is consistency between user-land and internal functions. There are currently multiple observable differences. Maybe it would be best to post-pone these changes until 8.0 where we can do a large consistency pass and handle it then. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
