I am all for the filter extension as well obviously, but I agree there is a bit of cleanup needed and I have a bunch of things I'd like to see in it, but none of them necessarily block adding it.

Not sure about the functionality, and I agree some of it can probably way, but I would want to finalize the naming before so that we don't have to change it and have another BC mode.

As far as promising it for 5.1.0? I don't recall that being the case. It wasn't ready when we rolled the first 5.1.0 packages.

Yeah I don't remember that either but again, I'm all in favor, but let's just iron out the naming and other feedback which is deemed as critical (if it's just additional non-API affecting features, those can always be added later on) Andi

I've always been in favor of having ext/filter in standard PHP. It's time we added some security supporting features. Only thing I'd like to do before that is improve the naming conventions a bit. Functions filter_* and I think the constant naming like FL_* and FS_* is a bit confusing. But those are things that can be finalized and changed within a day.

    I'm not against this extension. I'd just very much like to
    see the filter extension finally in core as was promised
    for 5.1.0 once upon the time..IIRC.
