After George's comments, I think I'll just write up an extension and throw it out there. I can still support a script:,file:,socket:,sql: convention for naming and meet all of my requirements. Thanks for the feedback.

But you still need to write a custom shared library, so this is not such a great point.

- No additional patching (which an extension essentially requires)

But you still need to write a custom shared library.

- Only adds a couple of extra operations (no performance hit)
- Backwards compatible with existing php.ini

I don't think those two points are relevant.

- Possibility for other prefixes (script:,file:,socket:,etc)

This is the only plus point in your argument, but you should consider that we already have a mechanism for logging to files, and no one has asked to be able to log to anything else for quite some time.

I think you really need to do some convincing to get the patch in, and
I don't see many benefits to the majority of PHP users with the patch
as it stands now.
