Re: 5.3 feature freeze rapidly approaching

Hi Lukas, all, Don't know if my two Zend-related patches can be used, or how much time there is to add them (after alpha 1...?). Waiting to hear about "No runtime fetching of built-in global constants." And the second, "Some string changes/optimizations," I'm sure it's fine to update the syntax highlighting and remove the duplicate NOWDOC-related things (pretty trivial). Just wondering if the removal of the INIT_STRING opcode is acceptable. Otherwise... 1) As far as any of those re2c issues, *I* don't know about fixing them, and the few extra scanner tweaks/optimizations I said I had in mind can be done anytime. 2) There's a small bug (forever?) with handling of numeric string array keys (of LONG_MAX/LONG_MIN). Simple, will fix next, since you mentioned bugs. 3) The change that was made to the DVAL_TO_LVAL() macro, which I think should be reverted. Will send a follow-up reminder in a minute about that. Finally, there are a couple small things I had in mind for a while to send along sometime for opinions (haven't done any yet): *) Some consistency updates for formatted print (printf) stuff -- userland function and internal. Been a long time since I looked at any of it, so not sure about specifics! *) A small heredoc syntax addition after seeing an old feature request. *) Fix for old behavior/bug with preg_replace() and /e modifier where it causes weird escaping of quotes. Though this could mess up people that are using their own workaround as I would have, unless it's a flag/option. I know it may be too late for these things :*/, but just wanted to mention them, and I'd still send them to the list if done... I wouldn't consider them major or dangerous.
