I simply cannot believe noone thought of this problem when it was still possible to add it to PHP4 _and_ we stick to this just for the sake of a feature freeze. The function is so trivial (and IMHO so important) that being strict here seems plain wrong to me. After all it hinders migration to PHP5! - Chris
