looks like __call() might not work through a subclass if defined in the
parent; i might poke around in the .phpt tests that come w/ the php source
to ensure this is the correct behavior.
in the meantime you can get away w/ some variant this ugliness,
class B extends A {
function __call($method, $args) {
return parent::__call($method, $args);
}
}
