Of course we are all interested in seeing progress in CodeIgniter moving forward, but its not all that simple.

You can create an __autoload() function to use libraries in exactly the way you mentioned or staticly, but how do we then extend those?

If we use:

Code:

custom_library::do_something();
// or
$lib = new Custom_library;

And we then want to extend that library, we have to use:

Code:

MY_custom_library::do_something();
// or
$lib = new MY_Custom_library;

That removes a whole lot of the reason why we are extending libraries in the first place and is a big part of why we have $this->custom_library instead.

If you urgently need more PHP 5 specific syntax, give Kohana a try. They have done a lot of this already but not looked much into how.
