Just a side note about the timing. I know some people have argued that  
this should go into 5.3 since it could be the last PHP 5 minor  
release. I am very sure we will see a 5.4. There is also the traits  
patch that is more or less ready (well Andi/Marcus still need to make  
up their mind how if at all the current implementation needs to be  
expanded).
