There is another thing that would be done with PHP4. We can
separate support for &(variable:modifier); syntax from Midgard-PHP module so
that it could be used outside Midgard-based sites too (for example, one could
compile PHP as cgi binary and use it from command line to test Midgard-oriented
scripts without placing it into DB). It is tightly connected with planning
extensible parser's support. Hence, at Zend level we'll do support for parsers,
and at PHP module do all other Midgard bindings.
