       Note

	      This function cannot be used to manipulate the currently running (or chained) method.

       Warning

	      This  function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, its name, and surrounding documentation may change without notice in
	      a future release of PHP. This function should be used at your own risk.

		- The redefined method can be CLASSKIT_ACC_PUBLIC, CLASSKIT_ACC_PROTECTED or CLASSKIT_ACC_PRIVATE

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      classkit_method_redefine(3) example

	      <?php
	      class Example {
		  function foo() {
		      return "foo!
";
		  }
	      }

	      // create an Example object
	      $e = new Example();

	      // output Example::foo() (before redefine)
	      echo "Before: " . $e->foo();

	      // Redefine the 'foo' method
	      classkit_method_redefine(
		  'Example',
		  'foo',
		  '',
		  'return "bar!
";',
		  CLASSKIT_ACC_PUBLIC
	      );

	      // output Example::foo() (after redefine)
	      echo "After: " . $e->foo();
	      ?>

	      The above example will output:

	      Before: foo!
	      After: bar!
