It does seem like it could be valuable to some degree, however, I don't necessarily believe it belongs in the core. This seems much better for a PECL module if necessary. If the key has a / it would seem like you should escape it like a regular string escape, aka "\/". I'm not convinced this is something that is necessary in PHP either. There does not seem to be a great use case for this use. > > johannes > > > -- > PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > >
