This may be a duplicate comment - my system hiccuped and I'm not sure the first one was
actually sent.
print_r also causes the date element of DateTime object to be available the "wrong" way.

Okay, so I don't know if this is new or relevant in any case, but I found something similar to
var_dump.
php > $object = new \DateTime();
php > echo $object->date . PHP_EOL;
PHP Notice: Undefined property: DateTime::$date in php shell code on line 1
PHP Stack trace:
PHP 1. {main}() php shell code:0
php > get_object_vars($object);
php > echo $object->date . PHP_EOL;

For me this also an unexpected side-effect and would say it is a bug.

I'd say the bug is not that the property is not present before var_dump'ing
object, but that the property is suddenly created. Unexpected side-effect.

I wonder how this qualifies as a bug as any object can have variable properties
and accessing undefined ones give notices.
Just sounds like standard PHP behavior here.

I think it is interesting that the property can be accessed using reflection. Using the following
example I can access the property:
$dt = new DateTime();
$o = new ReflectionObject($dt);
$p = $o->getProperty('date');
$date = $p->getValue($dt)); // returns the value of DateTime::$date

if this was not intended to work this way, why won't you just fix it so that no
properties are created as a result of print_r / Reflection::export() / foreach() /
property_exist / array cast?
