If we leave them callable, * What would be the effects of users defining the "internal" methods (in both cases of if/if not the accessor is also defined)? Considering current magic methods are *purposefully designed* to be implemented by the user, I expect users to try this and, if it works, release code with it. * I assume one could use them as regular methods? * call_user_func([$foo, '__getpropName']); * $foo->{"__get$propName"} I apologize if these were already covered.
