The usage case is when you use get_declared_classes() to iterate through all available classes and want to instantiate some or all of them, but want to avoid those that will kill your script when you try. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48842&edit=1
