A few more ideas for it:)

- If you stored token start/end then you would be able to do getSource for function/method/class.. etc.. (which can do a load file/tokenizer and return implode('',array_range(starttoken,endtoken)
- and add the generic methods
loadTokens(); and freeTokens(); so that memory can be managed reasonably for them..
* it may also be better to store the token of the doc comment - On some of the pear classes the comment code is larger than the PHP code, and would be quite an overhead... - just make it throw an exception if you forgot to load the tokens for it..


- there appears to be no arguments array for methods/functions

- not sure if extendsClass(), would be implemented by Implements?, and theres no getExtendsArray(), to return the tree of extends

- constructors: -
$classdetails = new ClassType('myclass');
$classdetails = new ClassType($this);
rather than
$classdetails = ClassType::fromName('myclass')
$classdetails = ClassType::fromInstance('myclass')

- I still think it would be nice to implement some of them as variables so that
print_r($classdetails); would display some cute output...





btw - It would also be nice to have unloadclass - so
a) the codedoc generators - could load and free classes.
b) php-gtk could reload modules rather than having to restart each time to test code..
