Overall it looks great. Thanks, Nikita. I do think it should use a separate function from `token_get_all`, and am not sure I care whether it is a function or static method. The only helper I see as totally non-controversial is `getTokenName`, which seems completely reasonable and users should not have to keep re-implementing that. I am open to more discussion about the others. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
