There might be users for whom debug info in production is way more important than raw performance... I dunno how expensive (malloc + strcopy + free) is, but it doesn't seem to this naive reader like it's going to swamp a server, if somebody who knows what they are doing wants that on even in production. I could easily be under-estimating the expense, but it just seems like there's a lot more PHP scripts that need a lot more better debugging code more than they need raw performance. I'm not claiming that having this available will stop any idiots from writing bad code, but it might help a couple smart folks write better code. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
