As I mentioned to Marcus, it seems odd to me to move reflection in the first

should always be enabled. I can't really see a good reason for this move.
I have to say that I don't see any good reason for this either. The idea of
"let's make it less broken" is vague, I don't see any reason why
extensionizing it would help any.
The only advantage I heard so far is that various users are likely to bump
into various problems, which may make Jani very happy, but is that a real
reason to go on? :)
I'm not the only one in the world who does not use that and does not need
it and would like to be able to disable it on will..
I'm not proposing (and never did) to make it disabled by default.
Perhaps we need to extend the --disable-all configure option:
--disable-all=everything|most
Where 'most' is the default and everything for us "purists" like you like to
say. What I am aiming with all the modularization is to be able to have
a very lean PHP build with ONLY the things I allow to be used in our
projects..
And also getting as many of these "insignificant" memory/speed eaters out.
Streams create oceans, you know? :)
