Yeah, I figured that, but.. changes come as new major PHP releases come.
Maybe this would be something for 5.2/3/4 or 6.0, right? :) Most likely 6.0
I guess. Personally, I just think it's a problem that really should be
tackled when in time PHP6 is to be released. If it isn't done by then,
waiting for PHP7 would just take too long ;) I think in 2010 you'd simply be
too late.
