Huge +1 to that.
Given the existence of preg_replace_callback() (as Stas noted above),
my preference is for deprecation and then removal, but I think the
overriding goal should be not introducing any more configuration
dependent behaviour — I'd rather be actively trying to kill some of
that than ushering more in.
