Heh. This is exactly what I'm doing as it was the only work around
that I could find, too.

Yup. However, before I do this, I check to make sure $pge is valid
before I use it. Otherwise, all kinds of nastiness can occur.
What I'm doing this for is my error reporting class. I'm using a
wrapper function that calls my class' errorHandler() method since
you cannot specify a class method as the handler function. Kind
of funky. But doing this was the only way I could get around it.
> Sucks, doesn't it?
Yup. But I'm sure there is a reason for it. Kind of like whatever
the reason is that we cannot actually get a variable's name.
I.E.
$joe = "bob";
we cannot get that the above variable's name is "joe".
Oh, well.
