I see the framework guys jumping in on this right away wanting pretty OO interface of course - but hold your horses a bit. This is a very fundamental change in the language and a vote should not be casted lightly. The recoverable error cases is something I argued when breaking type hinting was decided to be E_REOCVERABLE_ERROR for reasons that still baffle me (and depending if its extension code or userland code, effectively continues current context or not, since internals will most likely bail out on zpp) - but now we are talking about about changing something much bigger then that... If this gets accepted, what is the reason we have these error levels at all, and shouldn't E_* friends be rewritten into more convenient logging framework and remove the association with "errors"? -Hannes
