I don't see why the first one needs any vote. It is supposed to be
implemented as an extension, so why not go and implement an extension,
and put it in PECL, and then propose it for core inclusion, if it proves
popular?

As for the second one, do we really need the syntax change that would
just move asserts to before { instead of after? If we already have
zero-cost asserts, why just not use them?
