Of course. So far as users care, CPython is Python. So far as users care, Zend PHP/ZPHP/CPHP/php-src/vanilla PHP/whatever is PHP. However, from an internals perspective, we need to be able to distinguish the two and this becomes particularly important now due to HHVM and the specification. So, we should decide on a name for the original PHP implementation. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
