Needing an "except" is inelegant, if it can be avoided up front. Also, having __prop_get_XXX etc. is a bit more descriptive to somebody later "wondering" what these methods are - prop alludes to properties, which is what the methods are about. I can already see the stack overflow subject, "what are these __prop methods in new PHP" :) best regards Patrick
