ah so you were there when php core developers decided that BC would be completely broken and
all core errors would be throw as exceptions? me, I must have missed that.
php exceptions are generally a user level construct - the php core generates error not exceptions
(with the exception of a few OO based php extensions [php intended])
you might consider that you probably need to work with a tool for a little longer than
5 minutes before being in a position to determine whether a change to the tool is possible or
desirable. php is used by 100,000's of people changing the language is not something
you do 'just like that'

I'm not a core developer either, but that doesn't stop me following development issues
and discussions on their mailing list.

I'm dutch, I don't speak german - I can guess at the meaning of the above but for the sake of
everyone else stick to english, the language used on this list, please.
