Hi,

recently I stumbled across the EvalForbiddance RFC
(http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=288). It turns out that
XML_Query2XML (I'm the lead developer for that package) uses eval() in a
couple of places:

-
http://query2xml.sourceforge.net/docs/html/XML_Query2XML/tutorial_XML_Query2
XML.pkg.html#query2xml_getxml.options_sql.simplequeryspecification
-
http://query2xml.sourceforge.net/docs/html/XML_Query2XML/tutorial_XML_Query2
XML.pkg.html#query2xml_getxml.options_condition
-
http://query2xml.sourceforge.net/docs/html/XML_Query2XML/tutorial_XML_Query2
XML.pkg.html#query2xml_getxml.options_value

Especially in the last two cases the use of eval() really simplifies things
(IMHO).
I would not like to make BC breaks but if they are really necessary I would
prefer this issue being settled before going stable some time in the near
future.

tanks a lot for your input,
Lukas
