So we need get_object_constants and get_class_constants for such fancy stuff? Where's the good old $flag == true; or FLAG == true;? A bitmask class to shuffle around with class constants using reflection of itself and a magic method get_class_constants to check a boolean flag? I just don't get it but maybe i'm to focused to doing things the most simple and readable/maintainable way. Maybe, in a few years, c++ will be a beginners language compared to PHP which gets added new shiny features every day which will only be used by even more shiny frameworks and the most shiniest, bloated objects one can imagine. With every fancy feature added to PHP you kill a kitten! I'm more with this "Give PHP and it's core developers a rest" so that the core can be improved/cleaned up instead of adding Java features people have seen on the university and like them but now they're forced to use PHP which is like the opposite of Java. Java has it's good reasons too. Just a tool. Use the tool that fits best, don't use the hammer as a saw by adding teeth to it.
