ditto ;)

It does mean that one would have to set all vars singly ... unless setData() interfaced with the class vars themselves, not some sort of $vars array, e.g. ... function setData($array) {

    foreach ($array as $key => $val) {
        if ($key{0} != '_') {
            $this->$key = $val;
        }
    }

}

Another idea: if we provide a "fromObject" method that is like so:

Things like extended DB_Result objects can set template data directly, then. Ehhxcellent. Am working on a basic "driver" piece now, Alan is certain to have better ideas than me on that one; am copying the DB/Horde/whoever methodology directly from a message Jan Schneider sent me in the Text_Wiki Earthquake thread. -- Paul M.
