The key is to only use this where needed and not everywhere. Specifically, data classes are the perfect place to use this security wrapper. If you really wanted to speed this up, a custom abstraction that mapped functions 1 to 1 instead of using __call() and call_user_func_array() would help improve performance, while removing some of the maintainability.

If every function call has to go through __call(), which would have to use call_user_func(), that adds a lot of overhead. Right? This has a potentially huge impact on the performance though.

Right?

Nice bit on the security layer. Seems the Wendy's #8 drove the inspiration. I'll catch up with you later. Chris Hartsock,
