Subject: [RFC] Factory for Stream Wrappers
From: sebastian@php.net (Sebastian Bergmann)

 We (Arne Blankerts, Stefan Priebsch, Benjamin Eberlei, and I) have
 worked on/with code where a factory for stream wrappers would be very
 helpful.

 Earlier this year we talked to Ilia about this at ConFoo and he was open
 to the idea but did not have the time to implement it. At FrOSCon we
 talked to Johannes about this and he volunteered to implement it; which
 he did. We now have an RFC at [1] and an initial patch at [2]. Benjamin
 will write tests in the next couple of days.

 We know that we are "late to the party" but we do think that this would
 be a good addition to PHP 5.4.
