So for the sake of consistency let's merge this then. As mentioned, the BC break should be very very small. A few people have mentioned they didn't expect it to work but when asked again they didn't feel strongly about it. Unless there are objections I will merge this tomorrow. A review of the PR would also be welcome. Ilija -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
