There are releases on pecl.php.net, and there are (a few) people running these in production. In addition, it's been advertised as working this way for over a year. So, it is important to preserve the current behaviour when this patch is applied (will do so this weekend; need to catch up on a lot of things first).

actually this patch needs some work (as it's a 20 minute hack on code i've never seen before). i seem to be really unlucky in getting my intention across. by accident i started a thread about: a) bad coding style /and/ b) BC breakage when all i ever wanted was c) to make the colons for bound variables optional... guys, can we please get back to the subject? this list reminds me of driving a _too_ old and broken car: "one hour of driving, 2 hours of fixing" - if it was "one hour of coding, 4 hours of documenting/testing/qa/discussing the right way.." it would be fine by me but right now it seems more like "1 hour of work, 3 hours of comparing dick-sizes with the SmarterGuys(tm)". that is screwed up! thies
