Wez,

I haven't had much time to go over it but it looks like it's definitely in 
the right direction. I've wanted to see something like this in PHP for a while.
Any chance you can write a small readme file or add some explanations to 
the .h file to give people like me a small overview of the abstraction so 
that it will be easier to start diving into the code?

Thanks,

Andi
