Re: using PEAR_ErrorStack for debug output

PEAR_ErrorStack is designed specifically for this purpose $stack->push([debug level], 'debug', array([debug info]), 'debug message'); can be used. The user can set the log object externally, if the stack is a singleton, and you don't even need to write it into the Template class. ErrorStack is somewhat misleading. The primary reason it expects a string for the error level is to allow for some custom stuff such as passing in debug information. Obviously, you'll only want to do this if the debug level is high enough to justify displaying, for performance reasons, but that is another issue.

Philippe, you said (accurately!) that "we all have our little solution for debug output". I think this is an opportunity to make out little solution the same thing as a common solution. Greg's ErrorStack, as a piece of foundation work, just seems to get better the more you work with it. -- Paul M.
