Does anyone else find that funny? :)
It definitely does it ... usually ;)
Ah well.
I was just picking on the phrasing, nothing else :)
It definitely does it when it can, but you can confuse it with enough
circular references and large enough data structures that it ends up
with a giant mess of data it can't GC, because it's just not THAT
smart.
Yep, they suck pretty hard and can be pretty hard to unravel at times
but that's another topic altogether.
There are improvements coming in this area, I think, in PHP 6, if I
remember the posts to internals correctly.
Awesome :)
