As a side point; I replicated a load of type safe collections etc for
PHP (a good chunk of the java collections stuff) - If it's of use to
anybody I can stick them in a google code project or suchlike.
They'll obviously never be as fast as Java/C but they do allow for
static typing of collections using primitive types or Classes.
