Yeah... I'd love something like that (if it exists ;-). Name doesn't
really matter, but if it has "power" in it, it can even be dangerous
to the official PHP ;-)
I guess 100% compatibility is a must... but I guess
performance/stability issues are inevitable.
I think maintaining this kind of thing isn't at all troublesome, most
of the stuff will be handled by CVS although we may get some conflict
at times... To accept a patch, just wrap them around #ifdef's, make
appropriate configure entries... then "publish"... (is it this easy?)
keeping up with the latest PHP might be an issue, so I guess it might
be more feasible to just merge with point releases only... (?)
Well, Firefox has greasemonkey.... we'll have powermonkey [sort of] ;-)
