I do not like any of the new ones, FAST_ZPP included. I find them all error prones and not as KISS as what we have now. As I understand correctly the only reason we have this discussion is the performance impact of zpp with some functions, mainly ZEND_FUNCTIONs. What prevents us to make them operators? That may break things like call_user_func("strlen", $arg), array_map and the likes but there may have ways to limit the BC breaks here too. If it avoid an endless discussion about APIs, it is worse the effort to try it. Cheers, -- Pierre @pierrejoye | http://www.libgd.org
