On the other side I took the wxwidgets extension in an effort to revive it (because I believe PHP can have other use cases). Improved its code generator (and other stuff that involved a relation with the PHP source code) which now generates more than 905941 lines of code that constitute the extension (github.com/wxphp/wxphp/tree/master/src). So I have indeed read source from PHP core. In any case, sorry if I have annoyed some, that never was my intention, we as humans can't posses all the knowledge of the world, so thats why we always learn from somebody else, whats the purpose of a community without participation :) Cheers!
