Hi!

I think we've been through this a number of times and most of the people
agree that waiting for the next release cycle (at least a year) for a
self-contained minor function or feature addition makes little sense.
People add functions because they have need for them now, not years
later when they're ready to make a major version upgrade. We're not
talking something huge like new syntax or language feature, we're
talking about this:
> OPCache: Added function opcache_is_script_cached().
Why one should wait for a year or more to be able to check if the script
is cached? It makes little sense to me. Adding it to active branch does
not hurt anything, so I see no problem with it.
