Subject: Some kind of Reflection_Property::getLine() ?
From: johannes@schlueters.de (Johannes Schlueter)

Hi,

I've spent some time playing around with the reflection API. For testing 
it I wrote an extended syntax highlighter (if you like very ugly PHP 
source you can have a look at [1]) Now I'm missing a method like
   public int Reflection_Property::getLine()
which acts something like the 
Reflection_[Class|Function|Method]::getStartLine and returns the line 
number where a property was defined (a getStartLine() and a getEndLine() 
would work, too but imho for properties a single line would be enough). 
Since I neither know the Zend Engine internals nor C well I can't see 
wether this method can be implemented easily - but if I would realy like 
to have it within Beta 3 (so it can be part of PHP5.0.0).
