Current status of phar addresses most of these criticisms:
Looks impressive, great work!
phar implements zip support with native PHP code, enabling some features
I am a bit confused about native PHP code here - we are talking baout an extension, right? So what exactly is meant here?
Also, as I understand, there are features that ext/zip missed and phar extension needs. Any reason not to add them to ext/zip?
