Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Re: Allow PDO::query() to return a subclass of PDOStatement
From: kingwez@gmail.com (Wez Furlong)

Just like extending any other built-in class, you need to be careful
to not override built-in methods that either exist now or may exist in
the future; you can very easily burn yourself 6 months down the track
this way.

It's generally a bad idea, and definitely something to avoid if you
are building a class library.

You have now been warned that the traffic is dangerous; if you want to
go play in it, it's your choice :-)
