Here, let me dumb-it-down a bit: PHP doesn't have much in the way of meta-programming capabilities. Therefore one would not find it a natural thought to do much meta-programming in PHP, unless one already knew of a language where such support exists. A different example using the same logic: My Mustang doesn't have 4-wheel drive so I don't often think much about taking it through the creeks and woods by my house like my old man and I do in his Bronco that does have 4-wheel drive. A person who has never climbed a really steep hill or ran through a waist-high creek in a 4-wheel drive auto might think such a thing impossible if they were unaware of 4-wheel drive.
