Yes that's what I was thinking of. Looking at it there is
'runkit_function_redefine' but no
'runkit_class_redefine', only facility to redefine individual methods
of an existing class. Thus
not matching Rasmus Schultz request. The sandboxing facility of runkit
may make dynamic
reload possible, if a new sandbox were created when reload was
desired. That's just me
reading the API docs though, I haven't tried it.
