Overall I am slightly in favor of this. I would like some performance numbers for this, as performance is a considerable motivating consideration. There is one piece that I disagree with, for now at least: > The associative array must contain lowercase class names as the keys, and the > location on disk for the value. IMO, these should be the defined case of the class, or we should be insensitive about it. It's one thing that our symbols are case insensitive; it is wholly another to _require_ it for this feature by requiring lowercase names. I assume there is some motivation for this; I would like to hear it. Again, I'm overall slightly supportive. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
