/** @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 extends Iterator
 * - interface OuterIterator extends Iterator
 * - class RecursiveIteratorIterator implements OuterIterator
 * - abstract class FilterIterator implements OuterIterator
 * - class ParentIterator extends FilterIterator implements RecursiveIterator
 * - interface SeekableIterator extends Iterator
 * - class LimitIterator implements OuterIterator
 * - class CachingIterator implements OuterIterator
 * - class RecursiveCachingIterator extends CachingIterator implements RecursiveIterator
 * - class IteratorIterator implements OuterIterator
 * - class NoRewindIterator implements OuterIterator
 * - class EmptyIterator implements Iterator
 * - class InfiniteIterator extends IteratorIterator
 * - class AppendIterator implements OuterIterator
 * - class RegexIterator extends FilterIterator
 * - class RecursiveRegexIterator extends RegexIterator implements RecursiveIterator
 *
 * 2) Directories and Files
 *
 * SPL offers two advanced directory and file handling classes:
 *
 * - class SplFileInfo
 * - class DirectoryIterator extends SplFileInfo implements Iterator
 * - class RecursiveDirectoryIterator extends DirectoryIterator implements RecursiveIterator
 * - class SplFileObject extends SplFileInfo implements RecursiveIterator, SeekableIterator
 *
 * 3) XML
 *
 * SPL offers an advanced XML handling class:
 *
 * - class SimpleXMLIterator extends simplexml_element implements RecursiveIterator
 *
 * 4) Array Overloading
 *
 * SPL offers advanced Array overloading:
 *
 * - class ArrayObject implements IteratorAggregate, ArrayAccess, Countable
 * - class ArrayIterator implements Iterator, ArrayAccess, Countable, SeekableIterator
 * - class RecursiveArrayIterator extends ArrayIterator implements RecursiveIterator
 *
 * 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) Exception%s
 *
 * 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 SplObserver
 * - interface SplSubject
 * - class SplObjectStorage
 *
 * 8) @ref Examples
 *
 * The classes and interfaces in this group are contained as PHP code in the
 * examples subdirectory of ext/SPL. Sooner or later they will be moved to
 * c-code.
