Ronald, I think you are overreacting a little bit. It may be that proper written could would get no benefit from this patch since it would not load unneeded code and this patch ends up speeding up environments where such "correct" loading isn't done. I don't think that's a reason to disqualify a feature that brings benefits with no significant drawbacks. For the average PHP programmer, the language will simply "get faster". That can't be bad in any way. It doesn't encourage you to write bad code, it just doesn't kick you in the nuts when you do.
Sold. (The best arguments are always the short ones). As I said: "I'm trying to raise a token flag of discussion/resistance", but nobody in the discussion seems to have found any really important downsides, yet, with only me raising *any* sort of flag (though I admit it's not much of one). :) -Bop
