check out the RFC's on the topic. See if you want to champion one of them, or add another one if you have different ideas. >>> 4.

Right, if we ever namespace internal stuff (obviously there would be a need for some out of the box BC extension), than this would be the moment to fix stuff like this. Anyways, if anyone cares about any of the above proposals write up an RFC (or champion an existing one). Lets not end up in a situation where we have to refer people to the archives to understand a previous decision ever again. regards, Lukas Kahwe Smith m...@pooteeweet.org -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
