Re: Re: Multi-Method Dispatch in PHP 5.1?

How exactly do you think are default parameters related to the issue, anyway?

Java uses multi-method dispatch to work around missing default values: function foo($a, $some_flag) { ... } function foo($a) { foo($a, false); } instead of function foo($a, $some_flag = false) { ... }

I assume you are you aware of what dynamic dispatch is trying to solve

Whatever example I'd give you'd probably say it's not the relevant one. But if you give me a use case for dynamic dispatch I show you how I'd do it in PHP. Maybe we should take that off list though and present just the result of our research :-) - Chris
