We were working on a Antlr parser for PHP, that is still incomplete yet.
But it does not actually contain any builtin PHP methods. It would just
parser to the point, where it's clear, that the current token is the name
of a builtin method. Then it should lookup the name in a list of methods,
that would reference the code to execute that method. So you could add
new methods dynamically without changing the parser.

Ciao,
Andreas
