get_registered_object() ??

Hello, since objects cannot be passed to function as arguments and i see no easy way to add this possibility to smarty, wouldn't it be nice to have a function in smarty to access objects by name? function &get_registered_object($name) { if (isset($this->_reg_objects[$name])) return $this->_reg_objects[$name][0]; } this could be used inside plugins to obtain references to registered objects without relying on smarties internal $_reg_objects structure. for example: {foo object=oname}...{/foo} and in smarty_block_foo() we can do: if (isset[$params['object']]) { $o =& $smarty->&get_registered_object($params['object']); // user $o here } so the plugins can use objects by name. similar to "item" and "key" in {foreach}. any opinions/comments? regards messju
