Thanks Sara.  Nice to see that others have the need.  Works like a
charm.  You rock.

Marcus, is this along the lines of what you had in mind for the
(possible) implementation?  This doesn't use interfaces, but that seems
trivial.  I wasn't clear if you'd envisioned taking it one step further
and do the check before invocations of __call or not.
