Why do you assume all third-party software is going to be ZF? Or that code 
is going to be written around third-party software in the first place, 
rather than some useful lib that doesn't even exist yet might be slotted 
into an app 3 or 10 years from now?

I assume that's only if there is ambiguity, but I'm not in a position to 
test the patch right now so can't say authoritatively (@Greg: speak!)

but Stas - conceptually you aren't a million miles apart in the first place, 
so if you're finding that in your tests maybe helping figure a way through 
would be more productive. Greg complains that your version gives no 
warnings, you complain that Greg's version gives too many... please, guys, 
can you work together?
