Indeed, I've overlooked that array_diff() accepts a single array. So, ZPP could use "aa*". My point is that it's better to rely on common checks (and respective errors), than to have individual checks for each (group of) function(s). If that had already been the case, we wouldn't need to have this discussion. :-) -- Christoph M.
