But I would think that while there is an extension in PECL that is favoured over a deprecated extension in the core, we should be able to swap it. > > I think its reasonable for develpers to have access to this > > functionality without the need to install pecl/pear additions which > > in a hosting environment may not be possible. > > Anyone capable of installing core extension, is capable of installing an > extension from PECL, in most cases it's as easy as pecl install > <name>. Yes, but no hosters do that and I would actually push for turning this very usefull extension on by default. I spoke with Ilia before and we can most likely even bundle it when we make the library file in memory as well. And I think we should improve the ext a bit and put it in. regards, Derick
