For example, if I do: $foo = new Bar, it could search in the registered classes stack, find the file and do "require_once" of it automaticly. - It could be cool to have a native tree object PHP data structure in the way that dom-xml does. - The ability to call a parent method without loosing the object, so instead of parent::method() do for ex: parent->method(). - Return in constructors. For me seems a little bit silly the need off providing an extra method to do the work and get the error back. $foo = new bar(); $err = $foo->build(); //or something similar if (PEAR::isError($error)) { .. } while you could simply do: $foo = new bar(); // or perhaps something like $foo = new::bar(); if (PEAR::isError($foo)) { .. } Tomas V.V.Cox
