Hi Weilin,

Thank you so much for the warm welcome and for sharing your thoughts!

I completely agree with your perspective on AI. It's a fantastic tool that
boosts productivity, but critical thinking, deeply understanding the logic,
and ensuring code quality must always come first. I always make sure to
fully understand and test every line of code I contribute.

Your suggestions for ext/intl in PHP 8.7—like transitioning constants to
Enums, introducing proper Namespaces, and improving the error state
handling—are absolutely great ideas.

Right now, I am entirely focused on finalizing my RFC for
`array_str_contains` (and related functions) and getting its PR ready.
However, I am very interested in exploring those intl improvements for PHP
8.7 right after I wrap this up.

Thanks again for the support and for pointing me in the right direction!

Best regards,
Sepehr Mahmoudi
