Bug description:  NullPointerException desired

Description:
------------
I desire a NullPointerException to be thrown, like in Java.
Currently, a fatal error triggers, stopping my entire application.

Many times an object may be null, but the application can continue. In
addition, if an exception were thrown, I could trace it to see why the
exception occured.



Reproduce code:
---------------
$j=null;
$j->someMethod();

Expected result:
----------------
Fatal error: Call to a member function someMethod() on a non-object in
file.php on line 2
