Bug description:  Odd E_STRICT notice raised when using Interfaces

Description:
------------
When an interface is a parent of a class, the interface is implying a
specific profile for a given function (here its __get) even though it is
not defined in the interface itself.  This is making it impossible to
overload and/or change the profile of the function in a descendant class.


Reproduce code:
---------------
The following will produce this notice:

Strict Standards: Declaration of Z_Concrete::__get() should be compatible
with that of Z_Abstract::__get() in xxx on line 16

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);

interface Z_Interface
{ }

abstract class Z_Abstract implements Z_Interface
{
  public function __get($name)
  {
    return;
  }
}

class Z_Concrete extends Z_Abstract
{
  public function & __get($name)
  {
    return null;
  }
}

$t = new Z_Concrete();





This code will not produce a notice:

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);

abstract class Z_Abstract
{
  public function __get($name)
  {
    return;
  }
}

class Z_Concrete extends Z_Abstract
{
  public function & __get($name)
  {
    return null;
  }
}

$t = new Z_Concrete();

The only difference is that the former has an interface as a parent, the
latter does not.


Expected result:
----------------
No E_STRICT notice raised

Actual result:
--------------
E_STRICT notice raised.
