Hi Stas,
We discussed this patch with Matt, and I allowed this change.
So it probably my fault (I missed run-time locale change possibility).
I don't think it is a really big issue, but it really may change
behavior of some scripts.
I think we should revert this patch, before we get complete solution for
compile-time expression evaluation (not in 5.3 of course).
Thanks. Dmitry.

We could get into trouble here. Imagine:
static $a = -'12.8';
This should be -12.8, but what if locale changes and . is no longer
decimal separator? Moreover, what if locale changes between compile and
runtime? We get entirely different code now.
Well, I don't know if it can be tossed in quickly at this time, but
there ya
go since I think it's pretty basic! ;^)
I think it's not the feature that can be "tossed in quickly" - it can
have some obscure side effects, as I described in my later emails.
