Description:
------------
SimpleXML provides the useful children() method to return the children of a given element, it returns E_WARNING if no children are present. As such, it would be useful to be able to ensure an element has children before attempting to retreive them.

can i has cheezburger? or just 
bool SimpleXMLElement->hasChidren()
