Currently PHP contains two bundled regular expression libraries, PECL and regex. I am wondering if it would be a good idea to drop the old regex (dates back to 1999) library and use only PECL. The advantage is performance, cleaner code and a more flexible and more recent library. For the people who still use ereg functions, we could create wrappers that would implement their functionality using PECL and possibly add an E_NOTICE indicating that using PECL function preg_* would be a better approach.
