.. and (again) let me be clear:
PHP_Archive-based phar archives will no longer work once
allow_url_include is off and user streams wrappers are marked as remote.
So, it won't work with 100% of new installations in future PHP versions.
Without phar, the entire concept that the phar:// stream wrapper is
based upon ceases to be a possibility for wide distribution.
So, yes, this will require the Phar extension or simply cease to exist
as a possibility in the near future.
