Looking at the general feeling now I think it is time to accept the feature will be in PECL. Later you can come back and renew discussion about core inclusion. To push the topic too far right now will only antagonize folk. The best path forward is to make sure the extension has good code coverage, works in all possible PHP branches, is kept up to date, and is picked up by some good PHP projects. I know everyone here appreciates the time and constructive arguments you have put into this and would like to make sure you keep contributing to PHP. You've got a lot further than some feature proposers have in the past so take some credit for your efforts.
