That's because I was looking for "reflection"; that's what we call the combination of a tokenizer and an eval() function in academic circles (that I hang out in). But looking for "tokenizer" gave me http://www.php.net/tokenizer, which will get me started. I'll start work on a PHP implementation today, sometime after lunch. > Would you mind if we move the discussion to our wp-hackers list [0]? Not at all! If I had found a reference to that ML on http://wordpress.org/about/contact/ (and if you hadn't be so proactive in contacting us), I would probably have ended up contacting that ML anyway.
