Bug description:  no property_exists() equivalent for magic properties

Description:
------------
There is currently no way to determine if a magic __get() property
exists.

The __isset() function should use 'isset(null) == false' semantics so it
cannot be used to reliably check if a magic property exists.

I propose a new magic method __property_exists($name) or
__propertyExists($name) be created that hooks into the property_exists()
function. It would return true iff __get($name) returns any value.
