I reject the premise of that question because it implies that nothing in
PHP should ever be changed unless it's "fixing" something that's broken.
By that standard, it would be virtually impossible to get any new features
added.

With that in mind, here's the short answer:  The problem is that there is a
feature people are requesting that currently does not exist.

The longer answer:  This is not a bugfix, nor does it purport to be.  This
is a requested new feature proposed for the next *major* PHP release (i.e.
6.0).  This feature will add convenience and allow developers o flexibly
assert more control over their code structure.
