This totally breaks the capsulation in the OO paradigm, so I find it the right 
behaviour. Taking apart the fact that there's no compilation in PHP, it also 
prevents capsulation and making a member variable of an object available only 
after it's declaration in the class (except for stdClass) is correct for me. 
I see this as "You can't redefine the model at runtime".
