I have not talked to Johannes about this, but unless there is a major  
major major outcry from the internals folks to add it, its too late  
for 5.3.

That being said, there is some overlap in features with existing  
functionality. Maybe if we schedule this for PHP 6, then we might want  
to mark a few things as deprecated in PHP 5.3.
