Bug description: overloading is ignored when using reference
Description:
------------
When using overloading with the special function __set, and passing the
value by reference, the overload is ignored, and a new attribute for the
class object is created.
I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I couldn't find anything like it in the
documentation, or in the bug list. Appreciate the help.

Reproduce code:
---------------
class A {
private $v;
function __construct() {
echo "constructing...\n";
}
function __set($key, $value) {
echo "setting ".$key."\n";
$this->v[$key] = $value;
}
}
$foo = "bar";
$a = new A;
echo "without reference:\n";
$a->user = $foo;
echo "with reference:\n";
$a->user =& $foo;
var_dump($a);
Expected result:
----------------
constructing...
without reference:
setting user
with reference:
object(A)#1 (2) {
["v:private"]=>
array(1) {
["user"]=>
&string(3) "bar"
}
}
Actual result:
--------------
constructing...
without reference:
setting user
with reference:
object(A)#1 (2) {
["v:private"]=>
array(1) {
["user"]=>
string(3) "bar"
}
["user"]=>
&string(3) "bar"
}
