End users do not see nor buy the difference between what is Zend/ or
what is ext/spl (or other) and can't be disabled, like SPL.

I really think we should consider exceptions, step by step, for the
language itself, when it makes sense. And the generators RFC is one
case where exceptions make sense (no cross discussion posting, only
for the record here).
