Log: Fix #64221: is_callable() reports constructors as not callable

Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.is-callable#refsect1-function.is-callable-examples
---

The Manual should clearly states that calling "is_callable()" on class that has a method
with holds the same name as the className will return false for backwards compatibility. i wasted
hours trying to understand why until i hit a bug that dealt with this issue. 

Test script:
---------------
class test
{
    public function __construct() {}
    public function test() {}
}

var_dump( is_callable( ['test','test'] ) );


Expected result:
----------------
it should return Boolean(true), but for compatibility reasons its returns 
Boolean(false), which in my opinion makes no since if the class has __construct()

Actual result:
--------------
Boolean(false) 


------------------------------------------------------------------------
