I just listed two:

- the array bugs in object properties. There is no other work around
but to use ArrayObject. And this is rather critical.
- The other functions I listed in my reply are also clearly ZE2 tasks
(they all implement what is missing now in the engine).

I can imagine a reason why one does not need PCRE. However it is
already enable by default and is part of each distro default package
as far I remember.
