Einführung

Componere _{(latin, English: compose)} targets production environments and provides an API for composition of classes, monkey patching, and casting.

Composition:

Componere\Definition is used to define (or redefine) a class at runtime; The class can then be registered, and in the case of redefinition it replaces the original class for as long as the Componere\Definition exists.

Patching:

Componere\Patch is used to change the class of a specific instance of an object at runtime; Upon application the patch will remain applied for as long as the Componere\Patch exists, and can be reverted explicitly.

Casting:

Componere\ casting functions can cast among user defined compatible types; Where compatible means Type is sub or super to the type of object.
