Getting an external param into a userspace streams filter...

Hi Wez, everyone:

Is there (or will there ever be) a good way to transmit an extra
parameter into a php_user_filter around the time that oncreate() is
called? I've run into a couple cases where it'd be incredibly useful
(e.g. for filters that don't modify the stream, but do have
side-effects).

Is there a known technical reason why this would be difficult or
impossible? If not, can I go ahead and submit a patch at some point? :)

Thanks,

- Dave
