Is there something particular that you would like to have clarified or
specified? I tried to keep the scope narrow - only engine and only fatal
errors, but if you wish to have stricter specification on some parts,
please say so.
About your particular questions:
> Can we use exceptions in extensions as well?
This RFC is only about the engine - it does not affect our standard library
exts. The rules there stay the same: Functions throw warnings/notices,
methods may throw exceptions.
> Or in other parts of the engine?
What do you mean by "other parts"? I'm referring to the Zend engine as a
whole, though primarily the executor, because converting compile-time
errors will require more careful planning.
