Description:
------------
PHP5 introduces private, 
protected, and public object methods, but there is no 
functionality to list just the private or just the 
public methods in an object.  The get_class_methods() 
function will return all method names, regardless of 
protection level.

I would like to suggest either overloading the 
get_class_methods() function to take a protection level 
argument (for example, 
$array=get_class_methods($object,'private)) or creation 
of a set of functions to do the same 
(get_class_public_methods(), 
get_class_private_methods()).

Yes, I could use the Reflection API, but that's serious 
overkill...

Use Reflection API instead.

Well, heck, why not rip out all class functions then?  
Reflection API cures all!  No need for silly little 
things like functions when we can jump through hoops 
instead.

You could at least explain why you're refusing to 
implement a few lines of C code.

because we have the functionality already. We shouldn't have those get_class_*() in the first place because we have reflection. But we need them for BC with 4 were we didn't hadd reflection.
