This was my first RFC so understandably I was somewhat emotionally invested in it, even though the significance of the feature was low. Along the way I learned a lot and met many new people whom inspired me to complete this work. One of the PHPF members even said to me, "I think you did a good job with both writing and implementation." Although one could view the result as an absolute defeat, receiving that feedback from someone I admire means I view this as an absolute win.
----- I watched your RFC discusion unfold. You did a fantastic job and I hope you continue to contribute. -Jeff
