Poll result about PHP 6 Wish list

CPdG>>> 7. Make identifiers case-sensitive

I think it's not that good idea - real lot of code would stop working.

CPdG>>> 8. Remove various function aliases

What for, I wonder?

Dear internals readers,

I guess it's right that all of us are quite PHP geek and so i made a
pool on a popular french website (http://www.phpfrance.com).
I didn't say any word about the wishlist's writer because of Rasmus's
charism could have oriented the answer in his direction.
I just wrote the facts.

3. Add input filter extension which will include a mechanism for
   application developers to very easily turn it off which would swap
   the raw GPC arrays back in case the site had it turned on by default.

Yes : 95 %
No : 4 %

4. Include an opcode cache by default. A lot of work has gone into
   pecl/apc recently, but I am not hung up on which one goes in.
