Comment (by westi):

 Replying to [comment:29 andy]:
 > Nicely! I'd like to mention that since batcache I have used the same
 pattern several times, adding filters even as early as
 [http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.auto-prepend-file
 auto_prepend_file]. I would never clobber the core arrays, nor would spend
 any time accommodating that abuse case beyond detecting and exiting
 loudly.

 +1

 I think that the work that was put in to support the idea the arrays might
 get clobbered is a little over done.

 It also looks like it makes it impossible for an advanced-cache dropin to
 remove an already registered filter/action hook?
