Apart from namespaces, I can't think of any other "syntactical core
level feature" missing that could not be implemented as an extension.
Sara and Marcus have already shown (with the Operator and the SPL_Types

overloading and autoboxing, for example) can be added to PHP without
having to touch PHP itself.
