Description:
------------
why the function been removed and use the Extension Loading Directives instead
if phper can edit php.ini, he has supper permissions, so use dl or use php.ini is no difference, 
when dl function is removed i can't dynamically load extension if do't hope the extension load when PHP start up

Because if you don't have permission to edit the php.ini you probably shouldn't 
be loading extensions. Extensions stay loaded after the request and can break 
very subsequent request. So dl() hasn't been completely removed, it has only been 
removed from the persistent and threaded SAPIs because they destabilize the 
server and cannot be done safely.

I don't think dl() has safely problem, because the function can disable via set enable_dl to off  or ban it. so server's administrator should know aftermath when the dl() is available,
I think should disable dl() in default instead of SAPIs removed except CLI and Embed
