Well I can see why this phrases are confusing for some users. The thing is
that saying that something will behave exactly the same omits the fact that
it introduces the new suspension points that can have side effects. This
might be clear to you but I can see why it's not clear to others. I think
this is really more wording issue and you should make it clearer or not to
claim it at all.

I think what could help is to also add a section comparing the coloring
approach and why you think this is a better for PHP.

But that's in your php-src branch + extension code so it's very hard for
everyone to find and even harder to try. My argument was that this should
be extracted in the minimal form to the PR so people can see what's being
proposed and don't need to guess based on the RFC content.

Kind regards,
