Description:
------------
When you have a class that have a __call magic method, when calling is_callable 
with an array and the first argument a string, it returns false.


Test script:
---------------
Class Foo {
    public function __call($method, $args) {}
}

var_dump(is_callable(array('Foo', 'bar')));
var_dump(is_callable(array(new Foo, 'bar')));

Expected result:
----------------
true
true

Actual result:
--------------
false
true
