Php internals

• [RFC] Preloading - The concept from Dmitry Stogov is designed into a full RFC. It is proposed to make it possible to preload files before processing requests.

In addition to productivity gains, this opportunity opens ways for further optimization.

    Hidden text

    As part of the concurrent-php / ext-async project for implementing support for asynchronous IO operations in PHP, an HTTP client complying with PSR standards has been implemented. This shows the ability to integrate concurrent-php / ext-async support into existing PHP libraries while maintaining backward compatibility. It is important to note that when implementing corutin using generators, the asynchronous function / method starts to return the Generator object, which makes it difficult to preserve the backward compatibility of the interface.
