I'm fascinated by "user notes" in documentation. On that example above,
for instance, the 2nd note claims there's an error in the 14th or 15th
note which was posted 7 months before. I guess you have to take the user
notes with many grains of salt? Are notes moderated heavily by volunteers
to ward off mistaken information?

I'm very interested in session management. Could that be a topic for an
upcoming meeting at some point?

Cool. An extensive split/join family of functions. Combining preg_split's
flags w/ | is a new idea to me. I guess I'm used to brevity above all
else, which can make function use obscure, but always short. -grin-

I would if I had a clue.
Clueless, -grin-
