You hopefully realise that this is exactly the opposite of your earlier opinion that ext/filter should be used to block everything and let only harmless data through. And only have raw data on demand... I really don't understand why adding a *new feature* to the language (that you can use or just not use and) that helps writing better code and helps potential optimizers (that will come up as soon the feature is implemented) to highly optimize the code get so much resistance...
