I think the proper term is "chomping at the bit". :-) I don't know if Drupal
7 will stay class-free (I'm hoping to move it to PDO, which means at least

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea,
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." -- Thomas
