Hi,

I already had the need to override an existing function, specifically 
the _() gettext calls with my own code. In a python project I work on, 
we partly use gettext technology, we use it for string extraction from 
templates, but we don't use gettext for string display. In PHP, AFAIK, I 
can't do that, I can't tell the code that in context A the call uses 
gettext and in context B, the call uses a different localization backend 
with the same function call. I know it's probably not a common case, but 
in PHP I don't have a workaround (that I know of). Note that I don't 
know if it would be good for the language to have this possibility, I 
just know that it would be good for me :)

Regards,

Pascal
