Alternatively, they're on my hard drive, in the form of soon-to-be
published chapters. There's no yet a lot of good documentation on PHP
5 because it's still shifting around.

So you can rely on them existing in your programs. Alternatively,
because lots of bundled extensions use them.

I don't understand this commment. Doing
print_r(get_declared_interfaces()) generates:

Array
(
    [0] => Traversable
    [1] => IteratorAggregate
    [2] => Iterator
    [3] => ArrayAccess
    [4] => reflector
    [5] => RecursiveIterator
    [6] => SeekableIterator
)

And I get a 65-element array for get_delcared_classes(). I'm using a
recent CVS build (PHP 5.0.0RC1-dev (cli) (built: Feb 10 2004 16:43:19)
(DEBUG)).
