I think its a great addition, but I think the interface should be defined within ZE like the other base interfaces that interact directly with the language syntax (like Iterator) and not in SPL.
s/should/has to/ The engine shall not depend on anthing in PHP. In theory you should be able to do cd Zend && ./buildconf && ./configure && make to built a PHP-less engine (needs TSRM somewhere though).
Right. Saying this is the way the Countable interface is implemented like is said in the RFC is not really a valid argument, since the engine knows nothing about that interface, only the "count" function (which is in the standard extension) does. -- Gustavo Lopes
