Well, I disagree that this is anything like a realpath(). If your PEAR

from it) then this is a single stat call on any PEAR include regardless of
how deep your directory structure is. Compared to realpath where
including XML_RSS/RSS.php from a PEAR path of /usr/local/php/pear would be
6 stats.
We can't avoid a single stat per file, and on include_path includes we can't avoid a single stat per attempted include_path component. The single stats don't worry me very much and we could reduce this with an intelligent request-spanning stat cache system.
I won't argue with that, assuming the caveat that you structure your include_path well.
