Excuses!!

Maybe a future version... meanwhile I'll shut up and deal with it.

Thanks Adam.

BTW kudos for the discussion in "Upgrading to PHP 5". It is particularly

inaccurate.

Since flattery will get me everywhere, another question:  What's the
benefit of binding output parameters? My guess would be speed.
