LOL. Yes, I can ready the Wikipedia article. From the list there, I know
and have worked with Clipper, ColdFusion and Mathematica. (And
ColdFusion in particular urges for a comparison to PHP.)

BTW: the *German* Wikipedia article states that
"The term 4GL cannot be exactly defined and is used mainly for marketing
purposes".

So? As I said: you can, but you don't have to. And even then, one (well,
perhaps not you) would use the CMS' own functions, classes and
framework. Besides, I'm pretty sure the *vast* majority of CMS based
websites out there don't sport any individual code snippets.

You are every PHP developer's hero. I'd have never thought of that...
