[Pmwiki-users] Request for a callback once stdconfig.php has beenincluded

[Greg Morgan]

Honestly it's 6 of one, half a dozen of the other to me.
But as a compromise/transitional bit of code to allow local.php to be phased
out, could code be added loads config.php and only loads local.php if
config.php doesn't exist.  This way admins are encouraged to use one file
name or the other, but not both.  Would that be a benefit? Too complex?

Which brings up a question I've had floating around: what kind of a
performace hit does include_once entail?  If someone has a bunch of cookbook
add-ons installed, would that slow down performance noticably.
