Hello Sebastian,
there is a technical issue besides slowdown. We have to work around the
fact that suddenly a function might get $this as a normal variable (remember
the examples give on this list included that). Right now $this is handled by
a special zval not stored in the local or global symol table bit EG(this).
This will become a major maintanance hell. Also allowing $this as normal
variable again will confuse people because suddenly after 5.1 they are
under some circumstances suddenly able to change $this. That said, we will
also get a bunch of new bug reports, but who cares, it's the others dealing
with them. And all for what? to refuse using globals as they are to
php'isch? or to use an array in a declared sttaic variable as that can
already be done and is also far to php'ish?
best regards
marcus
