I am the author of two of those RFCs. I've worked with several members
of the HHVM team so that any inconsistencies are planned and recorded
(or will be; I know of one inconsistency in return types that is not
currently recorded).

I also am definitely not in favor of merging them, for the reasons
Andrea outlined.

Also, Dmitry, if you have interest in working on the implementations
for these RFCs I'm sure Joe would appreciate the help (I know I
would).
