BUT.... I would like to formally ask/give-permission to just redesign file I/O in PHP altogether. This would be a nice feature drop for 9.0, and we could deprecate the old stuff in 10, remove it in.... 12? No disrespect to all the folks (including myself) who had a part in file I/O as it exists today, but it *IS* a hot mess. I've sketched out redesigns with folks over the years, but I have to be honest that I don't have the spoons to invest in Stream 2.0, nor do most of the fellow-grayhairs I've chatted with about it. So please, if you at all feel inclined, burn this psuedo-posix I/O hell we have to the ground and replace it with the gleaming phoenix that PHP deserves. -Sara
