I was hoping Phil would share some of his beta keys for Diablo IV.

Nice article, Phil.

I don't know enough javascript to comment, but starting to wrap my head around it now - and I can start to see the potential usefulness of a helper or library, particularly if it ties into something like jquery.

Have never used modules, but tend to agree (judging by the popularity) that they could/should be shifted in as (optional) core functionality.

I suspect that your suggestion that libraries deal with non-array data as a parameter is unlikely to be acted on. Occasionally this frustrates me - PHP can certainly cope with sending different types of data around, of course - but I suspect that it's simply too big a performance hit for EVERY CI function to test for the type of data it just got, before acting on it. Plus you'd have to come up with default $keys for instances where you send a single datum. The extra 15 characters or so that it requires (as your sample code observes) doesn't seem hugely onerous, and keeps the interfaces consistent.

Finally, this bit is probably a typo:

The problem for me is that pre_controller exists very early in the system flow and has no access to the database or a great deal of the CodeIgniter instance. The pre_controller_constructor hook has access to everything CodeIgniter has to offer, but it runs after your controller constructor ...

Either it's really broken or just badly named.
