I know a couple of Java programmers that will find this helpful. Thanks.
What Java really needs is a KitcheSink class. I'm pretty sure there's already one in PHP.
No, but it has a bunch of kitchensnk_ functions in the kitchensnk extension.

#22Yes this is a good joke until you realize there is no other way to get some level of type safety in PHP other than adding a bunch of unnecessary classes.
Oh come on, PHP is a dynamically typed language. That's the trade.

#23What about subtraction now?

#24This is so funny. The author's description is great on github, really fooling you at times. Even if this isn't intended as a joke, the dedication to doing something fun to prove a point got me thinking about over engineering design patterns too.

That'd probably require a separate extension, but it's feasible.

#27What if I need to add 2 and 1? Is there a lib for that? Or would this one need to be completely refactored?
Also, in what version could we expect ability to handle 2 digit (or more!) numbers?

#28What? No dependency injection framework? Pft! :)
Re: Addition of 1 and 1 in PHP
#29Reminds me of something I wrote a few months ago on how to detect negative numbers: http://stackoverflow.com/a/11910993/1329367 but obviously the one above has much more value add and follows better design patterns.
You have to have a sick mind to come up with something like that, I salute you sir.

If you're going to implement 2+1 functionality, make sure to add the appropriate unit tests.
