This extension is experimental.

That's all I'm required to say, as you should know the consequences, but
I'll go ahead and add a few more notes.

The purpose of this extension is to allow user-space overloading of object
property access and method calls. It has only one function, overload() which
takes the name of the class that should have this functionality enabled. But
the class has to define appropriate methods if it wants to have this
functionality: __get(), __set(), and __call(). So, overloading can be
selective.

Inside each handler the overloading is disabled so you can access object
properties normally.


Usage
-----
class OO {
    var $a = 111;
    var $elem = array('b' => 9, 'c' => 42);

    function __get($prop_name, &$prop_value)
    {
        if (isset($this->elem[$prop_name])) {
            $prop_value = $this->elem[$prop_name];
            return true;
        } else
           return false;
    }

    function __set($prop_name, $prop_value)
    {
        $this->elem[$prop_name] = $prop_value;
        return true;
    }
}

overload('OO');

$o = new OO;
print "\$o->a: $o->a\n";
print "\$o->b: $o->b\n";
print "\$o->c: $o->c\n";
print "\$o->d: $o->d\n";

$val = new stdclass;
$val->prop = 555;

$o->a = array($val);
var_dump($o->a[0]->prop);


What works
----------
Whatever you can get it to do.


What doesn't work
-----------------
__call() support.
Invoking original overloading handlers, if the class had any.
__set() only works to one level of property access, no chains yet
Whatever I am forgetting about here.


What might change
-----------------
Hell, anything, even the name of extension and its function.


Feedback, please.
