I've never said I wanted to restrict PEAR to PHP5 - just that we should be looking forward and help out those who want to live in the now.

Its just so complicated to parse/write this in PHP4 - piece of cake in PHP5 (which is why this package was created, helping out those misfortunate PHP4 users? ;).
