A few more things coming to mind without much thought:
* What if both a method and a property with the name exist?
* What about allowing properties with function names as strings or
array($obj_or_class, 'method'), won't that be needed for being
consistent with local variables?
* In the array($object, 'method') case: What's the scope
for $this?
I don#t have an opinion on this feature, yet, I like the current
class-based object model as reading code is relatively simple, with this
addition (and the fact that you can create properties on the fly) we
create a powerful tool for really hard to read code.
