I think this is probably a good idea. What about Sascha's build patch? > While we're at it: Andi mentioned some time ago that he'd like to > release an alpha version of the Zend Engine 2 bundled with PHP as a > tar-ball.

My main interest in an alpha is to get more people to play around with the Zend Engine 2 because it needs lots of testing and feedback. However, I really want to get the object overloading stuff into the Zend Engine 2 before this happens (hopefully this week). It pretty much abstracts all object manipulation making it possible to write some cool object overloading extensions. Also, I think it'd be nice to have Andrei's 'is' patch in too.
