Description:
------------
As PHP does not support *real* overloading by different parameter sets, arrays are being used for
dynamic parameters as well as for object initialization in constructors.

However arrays use strings as keys, which kills syntax highlighting and refactoring capabilities in
IDEs.

PHP engine should provide a way to initialize an object inline by dynamically providing parameters
to new().


Test script:
---------------
$object = new Object({
    StringMember: "content",
    Counter: 42,
    ArrayMember: ["old" => "way"]
});

Expected result:
----------------
$object->StringMember = "content";
$object->Counter = 42;
$object->ArrayMember = array("old" => "way");
$object->MoreProperties = "stay untouched";

Actual result:
--------------
not possible.
