another solution for the OP might be (although I think it goes against all

Barring the s/parent/get_parent_class/ the idea is really really cute, 
thanks. Beautiful. Heck, maybe I'll even hack the code to do it like 
that... after some grace period.

P.S.: I thought calling array('classname', 'method') only worked for 
static methods? It turns out there's an implied $this being passed around?
