You must have missed his highly persuasive post regarding wrapping everything in a "collection object" layer. I for one have begun reworking all of my code. It's been going great so far... I feel so purist having objects everywhere. I've even implemented wrapper objects for base datatypes in case someday, a year or 50 from now, I want to perform an action on an integer. In fact it's great, I've reimplemented all of the array functions (shuffle, merge, splice, etc) to work on my collections-- they were super fast as PHP functions but the usability was just plain crap. Obviously I couldn't apply them to collections of integers without forcing any future developers into difficulty. And who knew how much more versatile strings could be as collections of character objects. In fact, I'm thinking characters should be collections of bit objects. We'll see about that one though, I'm already suffering severe performance issues.
