I'm quite thrilled by the idea presented at T3DD07 that the classes 
themselves define the syntax of the TS. The details needs to be nailed down 
but I'm sure that this will work.

But we need to find a way to store the documentation of the TS object somewhere

Further needs/ideas:

The successor of "stdWrap" must be extensible as well. We need a way to add 
multiple methods to the class that handles that.

TS knows three kind of data types:

* scalars (untyped, but in fact PHP strings)
* arrays (numbered PHP arrays)
* TS objcts (4.x: PHP arrays, 5.x: PHP objects)

I feel that the types TS scalar and TS array should be PHP classes as well. 
So we can give them methods like "stdWrap" or whatever *. So the programmer 
doesn't need to worry about adding stdWrap to a property as every TS scalar 
has them.

10.value.stdWrap.foobar = 123
