I have a Report class, using IT[X], and PHPLIB templates, also. Templates are used through connectors so the system is almost independent of template brands. But not too much. I am willing to send that to PEAR repository. First i was waiting for developers to decide where to put the dirs, and the names, subdirs etc. Now looks like i have to wait people discussing about, cache, pregs, et all. So i thing is time form me to give my, very interested, opinion. I use a lot preg's to apply functions on columns and do some math on SQL results before work on the blocks at the template page. It looks like to me it will be a lot more difficult to do the math without pregs. Sometimes i have found that bug also, and have to work around it every time with some hack. Isnt good to me (well, it is really bad ;) do not have pregs, but isn't good work around that bug every time too. To me, being practical, we have to go with both. I think using something like setVarPReg/setVarStrReplace and/or flags could stop that discussion. And i guess a flag defaulting to preg would not break BC.
