Well, that was a bad example, however, it stemmed from the fact I
didn't know about get_defined_functions(), and get_loaded_extensions() /
get_extension_funcs() didn't show it (or I didn't find it).
As for the sensible purpose:
I'm writing phLXR. It's like LXR, except it's written in PHP, for PHP
programs, and (me being still firmly rooted in the NT world) with
portability in mind -> no Glimpse. I want the internal PHP stuff (be
it a function, a "language construct" (who cares? it feels and tastes
like a function!), or your coffee cup to be links to PHP documentation.
And the more I can get automagically through a call, the less maintenance
work will be required from the user.
BTW, this reminds me - how do I use the genfuncsummary / genfunclist
scripts given I'm an NT (l)user?

good idea. also, makes one feel all warm inside when there's
someone else of the same mind out there. :))
