Until traits release I think you'll find this painful as any class that
extends Singleton must now have extra functionality imbued via interfaces
and composition.
You will probly prefer to use a registry, something like
Registry::getInstance('classname', array('parameters'));
Even if you go with an abstract base class you will want an array of
instances internally.
How can I manage to use this with an unkown number of parameters like Foo ->
> getInstance('a', 'b'); ?

yes, func_get_args() & call_user_func_array() however, fyi, these are very
slow.

if performance is a concern why not use setters to establish state on all of
your classes and keep the getInstance method down to 0 params. As long as
your singletons aren't immutable this should work just fine.
