If all these have been voted for in the past, I'll suggest that they could be worked on in upcoming 5.x versions as well leading up to an eventual 6.0 version. *eg: - Property overloading RFC aka abstract/virtual properties and get/set handlers (derick) (related?) - add support for type-hinted return values. *caugh* - add ability to allocate persistent zvals in PHP. - add support for files >2GB once native 64bit integers are implemented (pierre,wez) - APC - include APC in the core distributions (turned off by default) and switch to mmap as default shared memory storage. - ability to move autoloaded main classes in apc's class lookup preventing the overhead of doing the inheritance process all the time.
