  * Version: 1.0
  * Date: 2011-02-24
  * Author: Martin Scotta <martinscotta@gmail.com>
  * Status: Under Discussion
  * First Published at: http://wiki.php.net/rfc/object-model-improvements


===== Introduction =====

The purpose of RFCs is to improve the current PHP5 object model.


==== Why do we need this ====

Actual PHP5 object model provides the basic for Object Oriented programming but it lacks for support for library or third parties developers.

==== New Features ====
=== Constructors ===
    * Provide a default empty constructor (if applicable)
    * Remove the inheritance
    * Disallow directly calls to them
    * Ensure constructor call on parent classes
=== Magic methods ===
    * disallow directly call from outer context?
    * markers interfaces
=== class / interface ===
    * provide a magic constant with the fully qualified class name
      <code php>
namespace Foo {
	class Baz {} 
}
namespace Test { 
	use \Foo\Baz;

	interface Marker {}
	class Bar implements Marker {}

	var_dump( Marker::CLASS );	// string "Test\Marker"
	var_dump( Baz::CLASS );		// string "Foo\Baz"
	var_dump( Bar::CLASS );		// string "Test\Bar"
}
      </code>
=== errors into exceptions ===
   * Improve PHP Exception class
   * Remove errors/warnings, throw an Exceptions instead
   * Better stacks dump
      <code php>
try {
	include $file; // as of today we just die here
} catch(Exception $e) {
	echo $e->getMessage();
	throw new DomainException($e);
}
      </code>
