C++ is difficult since it includes C. Nevertheless every C++
programmer is 100% coding (and thinking) object-oriented - even
basic data types like strings are usually objects.
This is rather wrong - one of C++' main strengths is that it allows
multiple paradigms o

Well, I must confess that I do not know Perl (perhaps I'm to young).
But I said "not available in any OO language" - neither Perl nor PHP
are OO languages in my opinion (like Java, C++) so we should not
use Perl as a role model here :-)

Why should one want to do that? Why should PHP allow this?
$c is not an A, it is a C. Of course
Since you can no longer assign to $this in PHP5, how would one call a
method defined in a particular ancestor class that has been overridden
by the current class or a more recent ancestor? In PHP4 doing this was
hackish, but worked.
For example:
class A {
function foo() {
echo "A::foo";
