Bug description:Cannot access empty property : Why not ?

Description:
------------
Why can we not access property with empty name ?

I wish be able to do something like this :

$object->{""} = "Foo";
echo $object->{""};

Actualy, we can do :

$array = (array) $object;
$array[""] = "Foo";
echo $array[""];
$object = (object) $array;

So why could we not set and get the value of an property with empty name ?

Test script:
---------------
$object->{""} = "Foo";
echo $object->{""};

Expected result:
----------------
print Foo and throw any error or just a notice.

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error : Cannot access empty property
