[PEPr] Comment on File Formats::Archive_Ar

Lukas Smith (http://pear.php.net/user/lsmith) has commented on the proposal for File Formats::Archive_Ar. Comment: However there is no value in extending from PEAR unless you use error codes. The main advantage of extending from PEAR is 1) destructor emulation (which is not used here) and 2) expectError(). However expectError() only works with error codes. For error codes you would best define a set of constants that you pass to raiseError(). However if you define error codes you should probably also define your own error class so that people can figure out from an error object what error code map to use.
