I agree 100% with Greg's comments for the goto() / ifsetor() discussion
on the internals list. As far as speed goes if the dev team knew of
ways to improve specific parts of the codebase (while maintaining the
rest of the features available in PHP) then I'm confident they would
make that change.
There was one comment on the internals list that perhaps the
documentation should have a big fat red warning label that says "DO NOT
USE THIS UNLESS YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING". I guess the
developers assume users actually read the manual, but I think this list
has proved time and again that end users don't do this. ;) This is
especially true for newbies (i.e. the ones most likely to get burned by
using goto() all over their code).
PHP-dev team: at the moment you are supplying me with 95% of the
features that I need with a base installation. Just focus on getting
Unicode support, make it stable, and make it fast.
