Here's what I'm trying to say:
if defined("foo") -> 'Tell me if a class "foo" exists in my manifest
set somewhere'
if defined(Class["foo"]) -> 'Tell me if the class "foo" has actually
been defined in my compilation'
So, when would I use
if defined("foo")
Without using
if defined(Class["foo"])
As in:
if defined("foo") and if defined(Class["foo"]) { ...do stuff...}
Because, honestly, I don't care if 'foo' is defined in the classes
that I can pull from, I only care if it's defined and I can use it.
0.24.6
Thanks,
Trevor
