I know we're all giddy with the idea of having a PHP 5 Beta out the
door, but I want to ask once again: are we going to have support for
indexers, aka OE_IS_ARRAY style overloading, before the final release?
Without it, a lot of PHP-GTK programs will stop to work, thus exposing
the fact the PHP 5 in fact is not as backwards compatible as advertised.
