PHP should do a real major compatibility break and remove $ sigil from variable names. It's gonna be worth the pain!

Tl;dr: it's an autoconf problem Article also misses: comparing speed of full rebuilds. Pch gives massive speedup on edit-compile-debug cycle or when several modules can share a sin…
