Hi, Hi,

AOP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspect-oriented_programming) when used correctly, can make your application really modular. I've seen several implementations but they all require compiling of code beforehand. There is however a PECL extension now (https://github.com/AOP-PHP/AOP) that enable AOP in PHP directly. I was wondering if there are any interests/possibility to include AOP into the PHP core? +1! AOP is very useful when making some safeness or security tools, like tests automation (with contracts for making Design-by-Contract or Contract Driven Testing). It avoids to instrument the code each time, which is a drawn-out/laborious task.

I would really like to see this extension in the core. I'm sure that it will be useful for so many people and so many tools (each time you need cross-logic in your application architecture actually).
