Description:
------------
See example. I can't use if (method_exists()) {} because it always
return TRUE

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

class TestClass {
	public function __construct() {
		var_dump(method_exists($this, 'test'));

		if (method_exists($this, 'test')) {
			$this->test();
		}
	}

	public function __call($name, $args) {
		throw new Exception('Call to undefined method
'.get_class($this).'::'.$name.'()');
	}
}

try {
	$test = new TestClass;
} catch (Exception $e) {
        exit($e->getMessage());
}

?>

Expected result:
----------------
bool(false)

Actual result:
--------------
bool(true) Call to undefined method TestClass::test()
