Subject: A quick consensus on magic method idea
From: chrisstocktonaz@gmail.com (Chris Stockton)

Hello,

I haven't seen a magic method proposed in a while so I am not sure how
people feel about them, obviously adding them can break BC (although
it is recommended people should not use __). I'm sure a good amount of
use/desire needs to be shown for inclusion. Here is what I decided I
would like to have and just implemented:

Loader.php:
--
class Loader {
  static public function __compiled() {
    echo "I was ran at the end of zend_do_end_class_declaration";
  }
}

Run script:
<?php
include "Loader.php";

Prints:
I was ran at the end of zend_do_end_class_declaration

At first thought I figured this would be pretty simple to implement,
which it is.. for a basic use case. It seems I will need a bit more
work to handle issues when you do certain things inside __compiled. If
anyone has any interest I would fix it and make a clean patch, so
would anyone find this useful?
