Please rename your proposal as the use of the term "Vector" is confusing
for people who use them in other languages. Much of the discussion so far
has been around whether it's a Vector or what it should be; changing the
proposed name will allow the discussion to focus on what you're proposing
to add, not what others (myself included) would like to see added to PHP :)
