Yes, I am quite familiar with it since we had to handle this in APC too.
But I don't think getting rid of it is that hard. It obviously can't be
done in the opcode cache because by the time the compiler hands us the
op_array we have already lost the FETCH_CLASS opcode which we may or may
not need. We need to look at whether that MAKE_NOP() call in the
compiler is actually a worthwhile optimization in a future where most
people will be running an opcode cache by default.
This is one of the prime examples of making the compiler more opcode
cache friendly. Yes, it may be at the slight expense of non-opcode cache
performance, but with a bundled opcode cache implementation that should
be less of a worry.
