Do you mean never to dlclose() a module loaded via dl() at request time or do you mean that in general it should be safe to never dlclose() a module even if it came in via an extension line in the php.ini file? The former is likely a true statement, but the latter is definitely not.

It's exactly how other languages deal with binary extensions, once loaded, never unload, even between requests. That approach would fix and greatly simplify dl for php (note I haven't looked at dl code in more than a year so I could be speaking out of my ass). The double pass that Apache could be handled by having php_apache avoid processing extensions on the first pass.
