The point is that fundamentally overpowered features of this sort, while potentially quite useful (in some cases), should be optional (and the default setting should point to the non-enabled case).

Ah, I missed that part of your statement. Snarky comments like "PHP land" while clever and gives us all a big chuckle can be a bit difficult to understand in context. If you actually want someone to understand what you are saying, subtle digs and pretentious put downs, while funny and I'm sure make you feel better about yourself, don't really contribute much beyond dividing people and making others feel bad.
