That cup reminds me of the hunter in the cabin story...

Why did you make me google that?!
There was a hunter in the woods, who, after a long day hunting, was in the middle of an immense forest. It was getting dark, and having lost his bearings, he decided to head in one direction until he was clear of the increasingly oppressive foliage. After a what seemed like hours, he came across a cabin in a small clearing. Realizing how dark it had grown, he decided to see if he could stay there for the night. He approached, and found the door ajar. Nobody was inside. The hunter flopped down on the single bed, deciding to explain himself to the owner in the morning. As he looked around, he was suprised to see the walls adorned by many portraits, all painted in incredible detail. Without exception, they appeared to be staring down at him, their features twisted into looks of hatred. Staring back, he grew increasingly uncomfortable. Making a concerted effort to ignore the many hateful faces, he turned to face the wall, and exhausted, he fell into a restless sleep.
Face down in an unfamiliar bed, he turned blinking in unexpected sunlight. Looking up, he discovered that the cabin had no portraits, only windows.

Why, it looks like a happy ending. Maybe he can even make it a tradition and come back every year to sleep there and shoot back hateful looks at the "portraits".

Congrats to all the developers behind PHP 7.1.

Are they still expecting performance improvements or have they shifted all attention to improving the language and other things?
1
Mostly cleanup stuff that will allow further performance optimisation, as far as I know.

What, in PHP 7.1? There's some new stuff in OPcache that will make certain kinds of code a bit faster.

Applauds Furiously ... If you know what I mean

Great to hear! Have been running the different RC's for a bit now and for me this is the moment to update my projects.
Congrats to all involved, good work!
