Hi,

The attached patch allows stream filter implementations to accept 
the parameter as a zval rather than a string.

For practical example, you'd be able to pass parameters to strip_tags 
filter in a couple of ways, like:

a. stream_filter_append(STDOUT, "string.strip_tags",
                        PHP_STREAM_FILTER_WRITE, "<script><body>");

b. stream_filter_append(STDOUT, "string.strip_tags",
                        PHP_STREAM_FILTER_WRITE, array("script", "body"));

And this patch could also reduce my redundant codes in 
ext/standard/filters.c, so I hope this feature will be introduced in any 
way even though the patch would be actually bogus.

Any comments are welcome.
