Bug description:  Support for friend classes

Description:
------------
It would be really nice if PHP5 would support "friend classes", like C++
does. This way, classes can give access to their private members to other
classes.

Reproduce code:
---------------
class Foo
{
  friend class Bar; // using C++ syntax

  private static $a = 5;
}

class Bar
{
  public static function printA()
  {
    echo Foo::$a;
  }
}

Bar::printA();

Expected result:
----------------
the above example would then print: "5"
