Hi!


Here is the first draft of my RFC:
http://wiki.php.net/rfc/customfactories


Something I'm missing in this RFC: what's wrong with factory base class doing:

	public static function getInstance() {
		if(static::$instance === NULL) {
			static::$instance = new static;
		}
		return static::$instance;
	}

instead of "new self", and then the client class doing:

$this->logger = WhateverLogger::getInstance();

or even:

$clientLogger = $this->config['logger'];
$this->logger = $clientLogger::getInstance();

Also, the whole thing, whatever it is, looks like something one would do in user space in a framework, not on language level.
