I do want to point out that framing what happened with that RFC as "withdrawn" is analogous to "covering up a murder". The Internals list basically bullied a new contributor to dropping it and made them give up on ever committing their work to the PHP project. Actually, multiple people, because if I understand it correctly, there was at least one colleague of them who also was doing some work and they dropped everything too. -- Arvīds Godjuks +371 26 851 664 arvids.godj...@gmail.com Telegram: @psihius https://t.me/psihius
