Can this please be disabled. Modern operating systems have their own stat cache that is properly
maintained. A cache on these systems reduces performance *and* causes subtle and frustrating errors.

The stat cache is cleared between requests. What you have in mind is the realpath cache.

> You guys realize that the stat cache is per-request
nonsense - it's per prcoess and "You only need to clear the stat cache before a
file_exists() call" is bullshit, you should be able to clear it *after* change a file but you
just paly lotterly for which request in the future clearstatcache() has any effect or was just a
joke
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=73888 is a
deisgn error wihich makes a) the cache mostly usesless and b) clearstatcache() to a lottery game

We really need this option to disable cache in daemons, written in PHP.
WebSocket server for example. Or some worker, which listens the queue and performs some jobs.

Okay, the stat cache was not to blame for this problem I commented on above as I just learned it
doesn't cache negative results but I still need a way to disable it. I could get problems in
the future when file_exists returns true for a file that does not exist anymore.
