Nice thought. I imagine something like a DB wrapper, and implementing things
such as multiqueries and others on an extension based on the basic
connection made in the "original" class. Am I right on that?

So, you're saying I can do something like this? :
class foo {
function hello($a = '') {
echo 'hello '.$a;
}
}
class bar extends foo {
function hello($a = '') {
if (!empty($a)) parent::hello($a);
else echo 'bye world';
}
}
$xx = new bar();
$xx->hello('asdf');
$xx->hello();
Which will print (hopefully, haven't test it yet):
hello asdf
bye world
That would be really a nice way of updating certain vital apps, without
breaking basic functionality.
Thanks for your answer :)
Greetings !!
