It would be nice if the HHVM devs could send a mail over to internals when
you're including new syntax, so we are a) aware of the fact that you're
adding it and might consider adding it too and b) have a chance to provide
some input on the feature (in particular also in order to bring it into a
form that PHP would be willing to include).
I understand that discussing some new feature on internals most likely
needs five times more time than actually implementing it in HHVM, but I
think that it would benefit everyone if there was some communication
between the projects :)
