Just for clarification.  I didn't have a need for this, it's just something 
I threw together today since it was simple...

I left interfaces out 'cause I wanted it to work easily with PHP4.  As to 
introducing the check prior to invoking __call()... that seems like 
overkill.   If __call() doesn't think it should be callable it should 
trigger_error() or throw when its invoked that way.  __callable() only has 
meaning for avoiding the errors that calling an uncallable function would 
produce.
