Yeah that is what I suggested yesterday.
I can see two scenarios for this:
1) Check infront of an include
2) Simply check if a file exists in a list of paths
For 1) it would be better to pass the path optionally with the ini
separator inbetween the path list in order to be able to simply pass the
result of ini_get('include_path')
For 2) it would probably be each to be able to pass each path separately
or as an array.
Obviously you can do both in one function, dunno if that is really clean
either.
But either way it _must_ be optional of course.
