This is indeed a simpler way to allow good relative includes, and is probably the better way to go with a recommendation for non-pear.
Maybe even for a recommendation for pear-packages? Avoids loading wrong files if PEAR is first in the include-path.
I would not oppose this, but I remember it being proposed in the past with great annoyance to some old-timers. This might be a can of worms :) Greg
