If someone feels he needs pcre:// and can implement it why not.

Feel free to implement it. Until you do so the problem is that
DirectoryIterator uses streams directory support and cannot do
anything else. Thus the onlyway to change the way it works is to
provide other streams. And that is what I did. I chose to go the
easy route which even might help other people.

How is that going to work? Glob does not support that. But anyway, why not
simply test it before complaining?

Actually the glob stream is exactly nothing else than streams layer
for our glob functions.
