I'd say it's bad form to call a vote on something without at least a partial implementation and a path to finish the implementation. Otherwise, even if it passes it may not happen and that's just all kinds of confusing. The code doesn't have to be perfect, but at least enough to demonstrate it can be done and won't cause a 50% performance regression. That also gives voters confidence that if the RFC passes the code will actually get completed by the people that proposed it, rather than just expecting someone else to magically do it for them. --Larry Garfield -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
