@webimpress just a note: while zend-servicemanager is a performance-sensitive component, this one is not. Not sure if worth pursuing performance improvements here.

@Ocramius thanks for that note. I thought you'd like to have it as a standard now, this is why I wrote the sniff. But we can have disabled it by default and just enable in performance-sensitive components

Merging it for now - it's still a decent improvement, and you put quite some effort in it :-)

Merged manually to develop via 1dd0230. Thanks @webimpress!

@webimpress What is the tool that you used to generate this ?

@mikeSimonson
It is going to be a part of new zend-coding-standard. You can find the sniff in my PR:
https://github.com/zendframework/zend-coding-standard/pull/1/files#diff-02ee2a3197d92d5f724d0d7dffc13ac0

I still need to work on it, but when you check out the branch you can use that sniff separately.
I have plan to work on sniffs this week, and hopefully finish it till end of this year ! :)
