Hi Wes, How about magic `$parent` variable accessed in classes which are declared inside other classes?
Why `$parent`? I was thinking of it in case of inner classes also, I've got some concept about it https://brzuchalski.com/blog/inner-classes-in-php-concept and think therre might such variable be usefull too. This concept is similar to anonymous classes in way that both may be declared inside other class.
