I'm not sure if this is the proper place to make a suggestion - if not please correct me. It'd be useful to have an inline function similar to create_function () but so that it'd only be used that once and would return the function results rather than the function itself. I often find myself writing long sections of code that aren't repetitive and I have to either create a function that'll only be used once, which pollutes my name space, or allow myself to have code mush. With an inline function I could mark blocks of code so that inputs and outputs would be cleaner and memory could be released more easily. This would make code easier to read, reduce accidental re-use of variables, and reduce memory usage. Thanks, Michael McGlothlin http://www.plumbersstock.com/
