This is a consistent collections framework, strongly based off the Java Collections Framwork, with a lesser influence from ruby and python. It adheres to the PSR standards. One of the major goals of this project is to provide an interface that allows the internals to be re-written in c, and given php bindings. This would tremendously increase the efficiency of the framework.
