Bug description: __empty() magic method
Description:
------------
Using empty() on a variable that would be pulled from __get does not work,
this has been established as 'not a bug' by more bug reports than anyone
cares to remember, however, the documentation's suggestion of using __isset
is not adequate if you wish to implement both isset and empty
functionality.
Thus I propose an __empty() magic method which would overload empty() in
the way that __isset() overrides isset().
Reproduce code:
---------------
public function __empty($value)
{
return empty($this->_values[$value]);
}
Expected result:
----------------
empty($object->my_empty_value) = true
Actual result:
--------------
