Bug description:  func_get_args() should be able to pass variables as reference

Description:
------------
func_get_args() should be able to pass variables as reference

Reproduce code:
---------------
function ref(){
  $args = func_get_args();
  $args[0] = 10;
  $args[1] = 11;
}

$value = 0;
$value2 = 1;
ref($value, $value2);

echo $value,$value2; // prints 01

Expected result:
----------------
$value to contain "int 10" and $value2 to contain "int 11"
There should be a * pointer operator like C++, to tell the variable to
behave like
function ref(int* p = null){ *p = 10; }
