Subject: Poll result about PHP 6 Wish list
From: cyril@anaska.com (Cyril PIERRE de GEYER)

Dear internals readers,

I guess it's right that all of us are quite PHP geek and so i made a
pool on a popular french website (http://www.phpfrance.com).
I didn't say any word about the wishlist's writer because of Rasmus's
charism could have oriented the answer in his direction.
I just wrote the facts.
