Right, we could do something like that, it certainly sounds reasonable.
My point was more should that be
'Class'->name
or
Class()->name
I dunno. My gut is this feels like a can of worms for something that's
probably infrequent at best (I can't see ever needing to do this, I know
I've never needed it in the past).
But this is definitely useful:
$r = Apache->request;
print "URI is $r->uri";
Sticking to needing a $ is probably fine and solves 99.99% of the
problems.

I would certainly hope so... ;-)

[Nate drinks a beer to try and ease the pain of 4 RFC retractions and
another 22 that just need updating.]
