Sorry I'm late (possibly too late?) to this, but: 1) if pow() is turning from a function into a construct, can it still be used for callbacks? I don't see a mention of that part in the RFC.
It's implied in this section: No changes to existing code, safe for one: var_dump(pow([], 2)); // int(0) instead of float(0) Perhaps it could be made more obvious, but yes, the original function remains there to serve exactly the purpose of callbacks; its innards have been replaced by calling the PHP_SAPI pow_function(), though.

Can you make the RFC clearer? (In general, RFCs are not good at accepting feedback from mail list discussions.) Chris -- christopher.jones@oracle.com http://twitter.com/ghrd Free PHP & Oracle book: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/php/underground-php-oracle-manual-098250.html
