PHP 6 is too far off in a practical sense (sorry Andrei) from the time
where I can see myself using it in production or other people benefiting
from this function. The (simpler) variant of provided patch is what is
currently being used on production, if it can go into 5.3, which I see
myself using soon, then there is a tangible benefit from making this a
public feature (reduce the amount of custom patching) and spending the
time to refine it for public consumption and making it PHP 6 ready. If
it can only be added in PHP6, then the amount of interest I personally
have towards further evolution of this feature is very minimal.
So for me personally, the practically of the feature's deployment is
critical.
Ilia, I understand what you're saying, but with this kind of attitude PHP 6 might never
arrive if we all keep putting only the things that are practical for our (personal) usage
into 5.3, 5.4, etc. The best way to shorten the time horizon of 6 is to treat it as the
primary target of the development effort.
