 * It should be noted that this plugin requires PHP 5.3 or greater, because it uses
   anonymous functions which are not supported in PHP < 5.3.
 * For compatibility, I would urge the plugin author to reconsider using anonymous
   functions.

 * Shaun,
 * This is fixed in 0.2.1. Please try again. I removed the anonymous functions that
   were causing the errors. Please let me know if there are any other issues.
 * Thanks!

 * Thanks, Brian! Plugin looks great so far…nice job. I’ll be making heavy use of
   this in the coming months, as I bring my plugins up to snuff.

 * Thanks Shaun. Be sure to look at the FAQ how to extend it for your own needs 
   as well. 🙂
