Lester, I think he was referring to something like the MySQL/bcmath/etc extension where it ships in core, but is disabled by default (requires a compile-time option).
I think what you interpreted it as is basically just what PECL is for and how it works? Considering that it would basically be just `pecl install PSRClassLoader`? And at that point there's no reason for anything in the core (even reserving a namespace). That's how other extensions (even popular ones like apc) work now... Unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean...? Anthony On Mon, Nov 7, 2011 at 11:33 AM, Lester Caine <les...@lsces.co.uk> wrote: > Sebastian Bergmann wrote: >>> >>> 1- The same as you wrote.
