Why does this need to be in core? This could just be done as a set of

the number of people who require (and would use) this functionality
is very very small indeed.
well, 2 reasons:
1. it needs to be injected into main() of php_cli.c
2. it can become a good start for official "CLI" extension. CLI SAPI
has functionality, which is specific to it and exposing it to userland
could be useful
1. I'm not an expert on the php source code, so I can't say if this is a
problem or not, if it really is could you explain to me why?
2. Creating an official CLI extension sounds really awesome to me but
unless there is somebody willing to develop/maintain it I would rather
want to have this function going into core instead of patching an old
pecl-extension.
Forget my email above got a bit mixed up with the thread.
