And if you have more than one parameter you will name it =
methodFromStringIntegerSampleClassBoolean ?!?

And how would you do the same for constructors ?!? Create a =
initWithStringIntegerSampleClassBoolean method which has to be called =
after object creation ?!?

function xpathFromDom($arg) {
	return new DomXPath($arg);
}

function xpathFromTree($arg) {
	return new DomXPath($this->loadXML($arg->getSource())));
}

function xpathFromString($arg) {
	return new DomXPath($this->loadXML($arg));
}


Works perfectly well. And you don't even need to document them because=20
the names speak for themselves. A much simpler (and clearer) solution =
IMHO.

If you want an OO way I'd prefer something like
	$xpath =3D $obj->getXPath();
to
	$xpath =3D $this->xpath($obj);
anyway. This doesn't work with basic types like strings but having a=20
special case there is not a problem IMHO as using those two=20
interchangeably will lead to other problems anyway.
