That sounds selfish of us, Derick. PHP is an Open Source and has to compete with commercial applications where this is being one of the highest priorities, often even higher than overall performance. PHP has already accomplished remarkable performance and efficiency values, it also has done good job in usability. Only because coders will have to open an extra file when looking for an error string, should not mean that this programming language musts abandon these values. -- Maxim Maletsky maxim@php.net
