3 BAD ideas:
1. If you haven't contributed into src in 5 years, you must be "NEW".
2. If you want PHP to work like <the other language you like more>
3. "My ego is involved, because I matter, and I am important!".

GOOD ideas are harder to come by than self important people.... which
seem to multiply in abundance.

Something I learned early, from Rasmus, and Zeev, and Andrei (any many
others), is that PHP is not a "right", "correct", or "accurate" coding
language.  It's glue. Glue between HTML and C.  That's it.

We can lay lots of layers on top, but that's icing.
