Hi Stas:

Yes.  For clarity, what I meant by the "knowing the language" reference, 
I was imagining a PHP programmer trying to read/debug the code of a 
pre-existing project for the first time.  When the code does stuff like:

foo()()();

or

$eep->oop()->ork()->ah()->ah();

the newcomer will have to spend significant time rummaging around the 
source code to figure out what classes are involved.

Thanks,
