What would be the impact including this feature (once it is
*technically* fine for everybody) in 5.3 code with #ifdef's so that
this feature is enabled only at ./configure time and disabled by
default.
We could then imagine to switch this configure parameter as enabled by
default in a future (major) release.
This way, every vanilla PHP installation wouldn't suffer of BC
problems while still providing the feature to a restricted set of
users.
