RE: [PHP-DEV] Headsup: PHP7 feature freeze

Hi, https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1367 implements some additions to the zend_string API I'd like to see in 7.0. It's important, IMHO, because it provides macros to access the 'val' and 'len' fields of the zend_string struct, which didn't exist previously. Because of this, we already have thousands of locations directly accessing ->val/->len. This will take a lot of time to fix and the first step is to provide an abstraction layer as soon as possible. I asked Dmitry to review the change. As we have a very short delay, I also announce it here to ensure anybody interested can give an opinion. Important: The PR only contains additional functions and macros. It is 100 % backwards compatible with any code using the zend_string API.
