By the way, if it's really important, we can look into supporting it.  The

I don't think it's very important, though.  dl() should most probably be
deprecated from the language, as it's not supported in thread safe mode,
it's slow and insecure.  It also creates a host of interesting bugs/buglets
that are difficult to hunt and fix.  Other than that - it's great :)

Deprecate dl()? I think it's one of the most useful functions... :)


How so?  I can understand that people get used to it, but it's really bad.  extensions should be loaded in the php.ini file.  There's really no good reason for using dl() over the php.ini method.
