Well put. In the strangeness of voting on an implementation RFC, I
don't see how it makes sense to talk about "side effects". They're
the very essence of the patch and the reason it's being opposed.
If there's a better way to so it, let's see it. The sensible thing to
do would be implementing it for phpng, seeing a *final* version of the
patch and it's consequences, and then making an informed decision.
Even without it, Nikita's proposal seems as a much better baseline
everyone can agree on.
