Hi Francois, I really like those ideas alot, I think they're even closer to the core (arguably where they belong), but probably more difficult to consider for a language already in use so widely. I know these are really radical changes, but I'm really glad there is some support for this (albeit none yet from the people in charge). I think many users of the language would love some of these proposals.
Well, there's nothing saying that one couldn't maintain their own `-ac` patch (Alan Cox maintained a substantial Linux patch with all sorts of hackery that was either too unstable or simply didn't conform to Linus's dogma) or a PECL extension that, when installed, would break all sorts of backwards compatibility. Just a thought. --Joe p.s. You could always fork too! ;)
