[snip] If this is about memory savings, then I don't think it will help at all. PHP uses interned strings, so all those "label" etc strings in your above example actually use the same string value. The hash for those strings is also precomputed, so symbol don't have a performance advantage either. That's what I refered in my previous mail. Thanks Nikita (Popov) for the clarification.
