Not necessarily reinventing it, just pre-attaching it to the carriage ;) By which I mean, there's no reason "bundling a VLD-esque extension" couldn't mean "bundling VLD". But as Dave said:Having a bytecode disassembler in core would also be nice, yes.Because installing an extension is too hard? It sounds like reinventing the wheel.
However I'm sure there are valid reasons why VLD (or similar) have not been included; and would wonder if those would also end up applying to the ASTBasically, we're back to the age-old discussion of exactly what are the pros and cons of "bundling" an extension, given the way PHP is packaged by vendors in practice.
