We could also look at implementing a module-load-order internally in the zend_module struct, as in some extensions like EXIF relies on mbstring, while the ZEND_MODULE_DEP()s works fine for checking for mbstring, it does not work if mbstring is loaded after. So what I'm saying is that mbstring have a higher load order, meaning even though we have this in php.ini[1], PHP will load mbstring first because it has the lowest value (requiring it to start first), or giving exif a higher than 'normal' value (causing it to load after, as it is after all, exif that depends on mbstring, not the other way around). The same thing can be done with engine level extensions (zend_extension), where it probably would make more sense than for 90% of all 'php' extensions.
