Ralf Mike Pretzlaw

This class implements class function overloading.

It is a base class that allows sub-classes to have functions that may be called in several ways using with a different number of arguments or arguments with different types.

The base class intercept calls to the overloaded functions and dispatches those calls according to the types and number of arguments.

Number 6		 Overloading is a feature built-in in some Object Oriented languages like C++.

It allows calling a class function with the same name but is implemented in multiple ways depending on the number and type of parameters that are passed to a function.

Currently PHP does not provide built-in functionality to provide overload support exactly like in C++. There is an overload extension in PECL but it is not exactly the same thing.

This class provides overload functionality emulation using PHP 5 magic methods.

I like the concept but found a flaw in the class.
