Re: [PATCH] Add 'Z' flag to zend_parse_parameters*()

Certainly. One cannot use the convert_to_*_ex() functions unless you have a zval**. A couple people have suggested that I just use "z/", but this forces a separation and I may not need that. I want to be able to pass an array or an object to a group of functions. An object simply gets converted to an array with string indices. The "a" flag in zend_parse_parameters() does not automatically convert zvals to arrays, with good reason. From what I could tell, forcing a separation always does some work (unless the zval is a reference), and I just don't think that should be necessary. Basically, it brings back the functionality of get_parameters() and couples it with the niceness of zend_parse_parameters().
