Your patch doesn't allow for one to use get_constructor and get_method handlers to implement case-sensitive handlers, as you are lowercasing the stuff on insert, the patch is limiting. I think the best solution is just to play nice with the engine, register it as "gtkbutton" or "__constructor" in the code itself. Then, add an introspection callback to the engine, which can handle all the accesses to function tables, etc. -Sterling > -Andrei > http://www.gravitonic.com/ > > "Everything is a matter of a little programming" -- Rasmus Lerdorf -- -- "That stuff's easy compared to installing horde :)" - Alan Knowles, In response to my applause for creating a LALR parser for PHP.
