Description:
------------
As PHP does not support *real* overloading by different parameter sets, arrays
are being used for dynamic parameters as well as for object initialization in
constructors.
However arrays use strings as keys, which kills syntax highlighting and
refactoring capabilities in IDEs.
PHP engine should provide a way to initialize an object inline by dynamically
providing parameters to new().
Test script:
---------------
$object = new Object({
StringMember: "content",
Counter: 42,
ArrayMember: ["old" => "way"]
});
Expected result:
----------------
$object->StringMember = "content";
$object->Counter = 42;
$object->ArrayMember = array("old" => "way");
$object->MoreProperties = "stay untouched";
Actual result:
--------------
not possible.
