Subject: class defs from file?
From: tony@tonybibbs.com (Tony Bibbs)

First post here so be gentle ;-)

I've got a unique need to get the class definitions from a file.  Now I 
can write the string manipulation necessary to do this myself with the 
help of some regex-fu but I was wondering if it wouldn't be possible to 
add a method like:

array getClassDefs(string $someFileName)

Like I said, I can do it with some regex work but given the PHP engine 
has to do this it'd seem like a nice addition to the core oo-functions. 
  This may be a case where I've got too specific a need to warrant 
community interest but I'd think there might be other cases where such a 
method would prove handy.

Thoughts (other than the obligatory 'p1ss-off'?
