I see no problems including this extension into PHP-7.0 core distribution. May be even making it required (like ext/reflection). Nikita, what do you think? The second part looks very interesting, however it has some uncovered questions. - API for AST modification - AST validation (someone may insert "break" node in "parameter-list"). If you have enough experience, I would suggest you to try writing an external extension that would implement this idea. If you'll need some modification in PHP core (e.g adding callbacks), we may consider including them in PHP-7.0. Thanks. Dmitry.
