Whilst I am a fan of IoC, I don't think its desirable to add language features just to make legacy code more flexible. Surely the route to take is to refactor the legacy code as and when the extra flexibility is needed. Also seems like a possible whole heap of wtf?! When a seemingly absolute statement $a = new A(); gets mangled behind the scenes. Jared -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
