I'm all for making the radical changes at 5.0, its just that it seems like
Zeev is keen on a shortish timeframe for the new engine, whereas I suspect
that tidying up the language will take quite a bit longer.
FWIW my vote is for us to make a concerted start on tidying the language with
a realistic time frame of <guess> 1 year. If the new Zend engine is going to
be ready much sooner than that, and it will only affect OO stuff and the
business of accessing individual characters in strings, then that change
should be to 4.1. If the engine is going to take a year, then we'll have a
big pile of stuff to launch as 5.0
