If create_function did not exist, would any of those use cases persuade you that it should? If not, it sounds like existing usage is the concern. Which is not to belittle the importance of that, I just want to be sure we're coming from the same place. -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]The only real difference I can see with create_function is that it is/wasmore widely used; is that your concern, or do you see a fundamental difference between the two situations? I do. create_function is used for many very valid use cases, safely, much more than /e ever was (and its security impact was much bigger). Deprecating it does not help us nor our users at this stage.
