[PEPr] Comment on Networking::Net_SMPP_Client

Ian Eure (http://pear.php.net/user/ieure) has commented on the proposal for Networking::Net_SMPP_Client. Comment: On Globals: I do not have a "structure based on GLOBALS." What I have is data which an instance of Net_SMPP_Client needs stored in two global vars. They are only ever used for lookup; all state information is held in the object. Moving them into the class would be wasteful, since there would be many copies of the data (one for each instance) when only one copy is needed for all instances. It would also make debugging harder, since they would appear in print_r() output, but serve no useful purpose there. On passing references: Unfortunately, there's no way to pass a bool by value and an object by reference. If I were to remove the &s from those functions, I would end up copying objects all over the place. I agree that it's a bit unconventional, but it works, and doesn't generate any warnings under E_ALL.
