Description:
------------
When I use underscores in $protocol parameter for stream_wrapper_register(), I get an error telling me that PHP was "Unable to register wrapper class ...". In main/streams/userspace. this error is thrown and one can find the comment "/* Should never happen */" above it.

Either the comment is wrong or there should be a check for the validity of the protocal name.

A protocol has to be A-Z 0-9 so an underscore isn't valid and is the cause of the error.

See php_register_url_stream_wrapper in main/streams/streams.c

In php_register_url_stream_wrapper the protocal is checked, in my case it isn't checked. And "Should never happen" is a rather bogus comment for a case that actually does happen, isn't it?

The comment is most likely wrong, the call fails because php_register_url_stream_wrapper_volatile returns FAILURE.

The reason it returns FAILURE because php_register_url_stream_wrapper_volatile then runs php_stream_wrapper_scheme_validate which fails because the protocol isn't /^[a-zA-Z0-9+.-]+$/

The error could well be clarified.
