Yes, but if he puts it in PHP, it also has to be comfortable with other 
people.  I'm pretty uncomfortable with this structural mess.

Can you share your thoughts as to how exactly GPL scanner built into PHP in 
an odd way would improve your world for the better?  Remember, the scanner 
is already there, you can use it if you think it's useful.  We're arguing 
on whether it should be plugged into PHP in a backwards way or not.
