Subject: Re: declaring classes as static or final
From: michael.virnstein@brodos.de (Michael Virnstein)

things i'd like to add:

4. abstract classes can be defined static also

<?php
abstract static class foo {
	abstract public static function bar();
}

this means that all subclasses of foo must also be static and can only 
contain static methods and attributes

5. abstract classes can't be defined final


Regards, Michael
