Hi internals, I've been following the resolution of this bug:
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=44392 and it seems that there is no safe way to expose the internal `SplFileObject` filepointer. So I was wondering if we could not do things differently and instead of trying to expose the internal file pointer make any `stream_*` function which accept a resource stream as parameter accept a `SplFileObject`. By doing so we could resolve a couple of issues I encountered while using this SPL object without adding any new method to the class we could: - get informations about the object seekable and open mode status using `stream_get_meta_data`. - append/prepend stream filters without using the `php://filter/` hack which has its own limitations. What do you think ?
