I was thinking about it for increasing the maintainability of ext/standard, not to reduce the size of the binary.
Again, I am talking about having them compiled in by default. I wouldn't want to change that. However, for people who host their own application on a dedicated server, I want them to have the ability to use a stripped down version of PHP.
And although code might be changed, the RINIT's of all sorts of functions to lead to copy-on-writes in all sorts of situations.
I see no reason not to implement this because it doesn't change the default build one bit.
