It is too difficult for extension that is not in the core distribution yet. For now I think it is simple to override zend_stream_open_function() and zend_resolve_path_function() callbacks by ext/phar and provide something like phar.include_path directive.

It is indeed a solution. But my point was to support quotes in the include_path, no matter if an extension needs it or not. However it is not that critical and nobody has complained about this problem before

Actually, this feature was requested several times (and immediately dismissed) about 2 years ago, first by Francois Laupretre, I think, but I've heard it requested many times. Until I realized how easy it is to implement, I was actually against this kind of thing. I strongly encourage those who have the impulse to dismiss the patch to actually try it. For no performance hit, it adds big functionality to PHP. To be ultra-clear, the patch is not phar-specific. Greg
