I believe this is the path we'll be taking after some IRC discussions. Though, I do think that taking the RFC route on this one was the only realistic option for a PHP programmer with a minimal C skillset. It ensured that the proposal gained exposure, lots of feedback and an opportunity to pick up a real C programmer who could take it further. In any case, hopefully I'll be back with real hardcore C code for PHP 5.5. In the meantime, if anyone has any lingering concerns or questions about the RFC, let me know!
