Bug description:Support amed parameters in constructors to inline initialize 
objects with new()

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.
