Its a noble goal, but lets be realistic. Having and extension in the
core package is always going to be easier than installing it as an
external package. There is also how wide spread usage of something we
want to get. I think that Phar is going to be useful only if its
universally available in the PHP installs, and I think that would a good
thing for PHP.
