The (simpler) variant of provided patch is what is currently being used on production, if it can go into 5.3, which I see myself using soon, then there is a tangible benefit from making this a public feature (reduce the amount of custom patching) and spending the time to refine it for public consumption and making it PHP 6 ready. If it can only be added in PHP6, then the amount of interest I personally have towards further evolution of this feature is very minimal. So for me personally, the practically of the feature's deployment is critical.Andrei Zmievski wrote:+1 for what Andrei said ( to further muddy the waters ). Ilia, why 5.3 or die? This feature should be in HEAD IMO.Sorry, I should have read better. My +1 was for the feature in general, not for 5.3. I think we should concentrate most of the new feature development on 6.0, now that 5.3 is out to avoid having yet another "feature-filled" 5.x release. So, once again, completely against this going into 5.3.I would like to ask all developers to voice their opinions of whether it makes sense to add this to 5.3 or to throw it away (either one is fine btw). To keep the process simple & flamewar free, please restrict yourself to +/- (1/0), next week monday I'll run a tally of the votes and based on the result we can determine how to proceed further.+1.
