Hey Marcus,
What standard stuff? I remember SPL being used as a way to bring features
to users which were decided not to have as standards :) Anyway, we won't
get back into it as we've talked about it already in person. But anyway, if
we decide to have InvalidArgumentException as a standard (which was not the
case for most of SPL), then it definitely will make sense to move it to the
Engine as the engine will need to know it. Features which make sense to
remain as an SPL extension should be treated like a PHP extension.
"non-standard" stuff shouldn't be prefixed to make me personally happy. I
think it should be prefixed to make everyone happy, follow coding standards
and follow the same rules as everyone.

SPL delivers those standard stuff not delivered by the engine so it makes no
sense to prefix them with an SPL prefix. Non standrd stuff will have SPL
prefix in future though just to make you happy. Having said that i think
that extension tree belongs either in the engine or stays in the extension
and we go with pure Exception. Remember the reason i out this into SPL in
the first place was to be able to drop all that fancy O stuff. In that sense
i also asked to move reflection api into its own extension, that way adding
another possibility to drop memory space of the excecutable, increasing exe
load time and thereby increasing speed of such special builds.
Best regards,
Marcus
