You may not care about this, but from a readability perspective, i
think relying on $client->system being as special as you describe, is
not very readable.
If i'd had to read code that does what you describe, i'd be much
happier to see a datastructure be passed as was suggested elsewhere in
this thread, but even more happy to see something like this:
$client->system->specificMultiCall (
multiCallCommandCreate(array(
0 => array('function1', 'f1p1', f1p2'),
1 => array('function2', 'eval:f2p1', 'f2p2', 'f2p3'),
'f2p1' => array('function3', 'f3p1', 'f3p2')
)
);
This structure allows for calling of any chain of methods, the array
returned by multiCallCommandCreate() can be ordered, the root of this
tree is the sequentially ordered integer keys, parameters are parsed
left-to-right as usual.
multiCallCommandCreate() can then set up an array for use by
specificMultiCall(), the one returned by the collection routine for
$client->system.
The advantages of this are possibly some extra readability, but also
some more room for expansion.
