Giving access to the calling function symbol table, without the calling function explicitly 'giving permission' to do it (in the form of passing its symbol table as an argument), breaks a fundamental rule of scope in structured programming... We all know that there are some cases in which a specialized function would be a serious shortcut, but would be the wrong thing to do. I think that's such a case. Then it should be easy to pass the symbol table (macros would be a way to do it, but who knows how far off that is). -Andrei If you find a job that you love, you'll never work another day in your life.-- Zeev Suraski <zeev@zend.com> CTO, Zend Technologies Ltd. http://www.zend.com/- Mark Jackson
