Hi, The Context Sensitive Lexer RFC <https://wiki.php.net/rfc/context_sensitive_lexer> passed :) and by the time of the voting phase, we decided to vote for the feature only and later discuss quality analysis on the implementations aimed to fulfill the RFC.
First, I'd like to thank you all for that decision. I know that's an exception on the RFC process, and I am glad we choose this path for the following reasons: 1. Voting different RFCs describing the same feature with slightly different implementations would cause us to waste many voting cycles (maybe entire release cycles) without a guarantee of quality. The main reason to establish an RFC process is to chase for quality - to follow all the rules strictly, in this case, would be to contradict our main objective here. 2. Knowing in advance that the feature was already approved is a motivating factor to go on and try a good number of possible implementations and propose the best ones, instead of recursively voting until an implementation pass. With that said, this is the proposed pull request: Pull Request: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1221 Diff: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1221/files RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/context_sensitive_lexer There is sufficient description of the pull request itself. The ones that participated in the previous discussions probably won't have trouble to understand it, but feel free to share any doubts or suggestions here, if necessary. Thanks, Márcio
