Why move it to PECL? I agree that PCRE is the preferred way but not

I tend to agree, unless we provide wrappers via PCRE that emulate ereg
functionality I don't think we can remove posix regex until PHP 6.
Doing before PHP6 would require some very very solid wrappers. Giving
the little phpt coverage (*) we currently seem to have for ereg, I do
not think its really possible to be able to even determine if any
attempt at a wrapper is truely solid or not.

(*) Actually I heard this said on IRC. I do not see an ext/ereg on
gcov.php.net .. are the available tests part of regexp?
