That's fine, the question is why exactly we need fast implementation of PHP_Archive that can be bundled into PHP as a C extension. I see only one reason - to run php code in production out of phar, and I don't think it's a good idea. Any other reasons?

I think it is a good reason. There are plenty of tool-like PHP applications. Not having to "install" these, but just be able to maintain a config file and a single file would be quite nice imho. regards, Lukas
