That doesn't really change the timing, especially since you said you
have been using it for 2 years. Why pick the week after the 5.3 release

consensus is building that we aren't going to add this to 5.3.
I wish I had time to post the patch sooner, but timing was such that
it was not an option. Plus people have tried to post the same
functionality before there was patch from Hannes back in 2006, a full
RFC by Fellipe in 2008 (with patch) and now my attempt in 2009. After
some discussions at the developer meeting in Chicago and seeing that
there was a substantial interest in the feature I've cleaned up the
code and posted the patch.
I think half the people who voted +1 didn't realize you were seriously
thinking of pushing it into 5.3
Well, its only Tuesday there is plenty of time for people to change
their mind (like some already have). Agreeably its a major decisions
and I think everyone would agree it should not hinge on 1-2 votes
either way, there has to be a substantial "let it in" consensus for it
to go in.
Like I said earlier on IRC, I'm +1 for this in 5.4 if that ever happens.
Otherwise it's gotta be PHP 6. Or just spork. :)

One more thing: It seems there is no reason not to simply commit it to
HEAD. That's the development branch, if the thing isn't good, it can be
removed / modified / etc. This voting is really whether it should be
merged or not..
