Exception::fillException() proposal

Hello all. I'd like to propose addition of a new method of standard Exception class. This method is somewhat identical to Java's fillInStackTrace() [0], but fills not only the "trace", but also "line" and "file" properties. See #33407 [1], this report explains how this method can be used. Short example: Exception::fillException() (the name is still under question) returns new exception object that can be used this way: <?php try { throw new Exception("message", 1); } catch(Exception $e) { throw $e->fillException(); } ?> In the code above "line", "file" and "trace" properties will point at the file/line where fillException() is called, not the file/line where $e was constructed. All the other properties of $e are copied, so they remain untouched. See diff against HEAD in attachment.
