I wasn't going to bring this up, but an intersectional idea I had a few
years ago.... Static Constructor. Just like an instance constructor, but
called on initial load.
class Foo {
public static __static_construct(/* no args allowed */) {
/* Run on class load, similar to (main), but without better
determinance */
}
}
* Reduces the footprint wherein a class's definition *can* change.
* Solves the early exit problem
* If exposed to userspace, could provide a nice encapsulation for things
like stream_wrapper_register() calls.
