/** @mainpage SPL - Standard PHP Library
 *
 * SPL - Standard PHP Library
 *
 * SPL is a collection of interfaces and classes that are meant to solve 
 * standard problems and implements some efficient data access interfaces 
 * and classes. You'll find the classes documented using php code in the 
 * file spl.php or in corresponding .inc files in subdirectories examples 
 * and internal. Based on the internal implementations or the files in the 
 * examples subdirectory there are also some .php files to experiment with.
 * 
 * The .inc files are not included automatically because they are sooner or 
 * later integrated into the extension. That means that you either need to 
 * put the code of examples/autoload.inc into your autoprepend file or that 
 * you have to point your ini setting auto_prepend_file to that file.
 * 
 * Below is a list of interfaces/classes already availabel natively through
 * the SPL extension grouped by category.
 * 
 * 1) Iterators
 * 
 * SPL offers some advanced iterator algorithms:
 * 
 * - interface RecursiveIterator implements Iterator
 * - interface OuterIterator extends Iterator
 * - class RecursiveIteratorIterator implements OuterIterator
 * - abstract class FilterIterator implements OuterIterator
 * - class ParentIterator extends FilterIterator implements RecursiveIterator
 * - interface SeekableIterator implements Iterator
 * - class LimitIterator implements OuterIterator
 * - class CachingIterator implements OuterIterator
 * - class CachingRecursiveIterator extends CachingIterator implements RecursiveIterator
 * - class IteratorIterator implements OuterIterator
 * - class NoRewindIterator implements OuterIterator
 * - class EmptyIterator implements Iterator
 * - class InfiniteIterator extends IteratorIterator
 * - class AppendIterator implements OuterIterator
 * 
 * 2) Directories
 * 
 * SPL offers two advanced directory classes:
 * 
 * - class DirectoryIterator implements Iterator
 * - class RecursiveDirectoryIterator extends DirectoryIterator implements RecursiveIterator
 * 
 * 3) XML
 * 
 * SPL offers an advanced XML handling class:
 * 
 * - class SimpleXMLIterator extends simplexml_element extends recursiveiterator
 * 
 * 4) Array Overloading
 * 
 * SPL offers advanced Array overloading:
 * 
 * - class ArrayObject implements IteratorAggregate
 * - class ArrayIterator implements Iterator
 * 
 * As the above suggest an ArrayObject creates an ArrayIterator when it comes to
 * iteration (e.g. ArrayObject instance used inside foreach). 
 *
 * 5) Counting
 *
 * - interface Countable allows to hook into the standard array function count().
 *
 * 6) Exceptions
 *
 * SPL provides a set of standard exception classes each meant to indicate a 
 * certain problem type.
 *
 * - class LogicException           extends Exception
 * - class BadFunctionCallException extends LogicException
 * - class BadMethodCallException   extends BadFunctionCallException
 * - class DomainException          extends LogicException
 * - class InvalidArgumentException extends LogicException
 * - class LengthException          extends LogicException
 * - class OutOfRangeException      extends LogicException
 * - class RuntimeException         extends Exception
 * - class OutOfBoundsException     extends RuntimeException
 * - class OverflowException        extends RuntimeException
 * - class RangeException           extends RuntimeException
 * - class UnderflowException       extends RuntimeException
 *
 * 7) Observer
 *
 * SPL suggests a standard way of implementing the observer pattern.
 *
 * - interface Observer
 * - interface Subject
 * 
 * A nice article about SPL can be found 
 * <a href="http://www.sitepoint.com/article/php5-standard-library/1">here</a>.
 *
 * You can download this documentation as a chm file 
 * <a href="http://php.net/~helly/php/ext/spl/spl.chm">here</a>.
