Enhancement to make debugging much easier:

Is it anyhow possible to pull out the local scope out of PHP? I`m sometimes using var_dump($GLOBALS) and I think var_dump($LOCALS) could be useful too.
Eg. if you?ve function calls and you want to know all parameters passed.

additional user requested comment:

introducing a $LOCALS variable would be an evident slowdown,
thus implementing this is not affordable

was fixed another way:

get_defined_vars();
