Morning Stas,
I didn't overload RECV_INIT, = null would work, but integer $int = null
is yucky.
I'll have a think about that ...
I think if it catches on we should implement the feature in core for 7
(removing limitation), if this happens the extension becomes a good
approximation of compatibility for 5.
Cheers
