btw, I would even have included phar as affecting the language, as even if you don't use it at all in your code, it affects how php behaves. We had many issues related to phar while it was not used at all in the code (due to the hooks). That's not exactly the same thing than o+ but it has the same kind of possible impacts. -- Pierre @pierrejoye -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
