I do.  Let's put up an RFC for it.  That is one of the reasons we
established that process, isn't it?  So that ideas like this don't just end
up in infinite discussions that go nowhere?

Karoly, are you familiar with our RFC process?  If not, take a look at
http://wiki.php.net/rfc.  You've clearly invested a lot of thought into
this, so let's go ahead and put that into an actual proposal.  I'll be glad
to help, including posting it to the wiki if you don't have an account.

I'll be honest:  I don't think it'll pass.  I'd be voting no on it if that
vote were held right now.  But at least you'll have an actual proposal on
record and you'll have at least a week (or is it two?) to try to change
people's minds before it goes to a vote.

I think that would be the best way to close the lid on this.  If somebody
brings it up again in the near future, we can simply point them to the RFC
to demonstrate that the issue has already been raised and decided.  Problem
solved.  If anybody has a better idea on how to put this discussion to
rest, I'm all ears.  =)
