The Parkroo.com PHP Preprocessor

The Parkroo.com PHP Preprocessor (or P5 for short) adds a bit of object-oriented preprocessing on top of PHP's existing functionality stack. Take the following directory tree for example:

classes/
  MySpecial.class.php
  MySpecial/
    sayHello.php
compiled/
  ...

classes/MySpecial.class.php:

<?php
  class MySpecial {
    ##P5.include("./MySpecial/sayHello.php")##
  }

classes/MySpecial/sayHello.php:

<?php##P5.partial##
  public static function sayHello() {
    echo "Hello World!";
  }

compiled/MySpecial.class.php:

<?php
  class MySpecial {
    public static function sayHello() {
      return "Hello World!";
    }
  }
  

The purpose of this is to make unit testing really stupidly simple, and to prevent files from getting out-of-control-long. Also, where each function requires database functionality, I'm thinking of adding in the ability to load in a fresh RDBMS state on which unit testing operations can be run.
