Re: Please let's not bitch about lazy users not learning C to implement THEIR missing feature. (Was Re: [PHP-DEV] 5.4 again)

Hi Richard, Again what I commented on other thread and again you barely see what I mentioned, the feature is ALREADY written in C and compatible with latest PHP trunk. I'm not bitching against do and don't dos... I'm bitching about ignored feature that are not even discussed. I agree with you, it's an Open Source project and any help from any front is valuable. But as I pointed out on other thread, only developers with php-src karma had features evaluated. If you think I'm wrong, please re-read the entire thread of Annotations and then get back to me with a single message on thread where actually had a discussion with some mature content instead of personal feelings.
