L.S.,
I just noticed the following, which struck me as weird/inconsistent:
There are four different OO structures in PHP:
1. Classes
2. Interfaces
3. Traits
4. Enums
For all four, an `*_exists()` function is available, i.e.
`class_exists()`, `interface_exists()`, `trait_exists()` and
`enum_exists()` [2].
But only for three out of the four, a `get_declared_*()` function exists.
There is `get_declared_classes()`, `get_declared_interfaces()`,
`get_declared_traits()`, but no `get_declared_enums()` [2].
I'm aware that enums are internally considered classes and that
`get_declared_classes()` will retrieve them [1], but the same could be
said about interfaces and traits, yet they do have their own
`get_declared_*()` function.
Should a `get_declared_enums()` function be added ?
And should the `get_declared_classes()` function be adjusted to exclude
enums ?
I did check the enum RFC [3], but I couldn't find any mention or
discussion about this in the RFC.
Smile,
Juliette
