Summary: support for anonymous classes
Status: Open
Type: Feature/Change Request
Package: Feature/Change Request

New Comment:
The benefits of anonymous classes are twofold:
a) efficiency of code
b) efficiency of use of resources
consider:
$Div = new DivElement($InnerHTML = 'hello');
$Div->display();
versus:
(new DivElement( $InnerHTML = 'hello'))->display();
Lines of unnecessary code are saved, plus memory is allocated more
efficiently.
This is especially useful for objects that merely appear for a single
purpose and then vanish.

Another request for anonymous classes. Without support for anonymous
classes, it can sometimes be necessary to create hundreds of named, and
rarely used, classes. Anonymous classes are often used for quick
instances that are created and destroyed quickly, so a performance hit
is reasonable.

Description:
------------
Just voicing my opinion that it would be nice to be able to create
anonymous inner classes as in Java.
Or put another way, I wish something like the reproduce code would work.
This looks much better than creating and naming a global class that has
some trivial purpose, like the one in the example.
Reproduce code:
---------------
if(! is_object($this->movie))
{
$this->movie = new __Object()
{
public function __call($name, $args)
{
return false;
}
};
}
