Re: is_a, instanceof, conclusion

I think you missed the point. Not all places that use is_a() should need this functionality, and it's questionable if they do... At 06:01 PM 8/11/2005 +0200, Michael Wallner wrote:

Hi Andi Gutmans, you wrote: Nothing hidden. I just don't think it's broken. I don't think it'll be terrible to change and I will look into it (actually already have). Good news! I do think that people here missed the point though. If your code really requires this functionality then I think there's a problem in most cases. I think for most people in favor it was more a philosophical argument then one backed with massive real world usage... Well, IMO both cases are true.
