I have attached a patch to https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55490 that
implements ReflectionClass::newInstanceWithoutConstructor() to create an
object a class without invoking the constructor.
As there are certain internal classes that would "crash" when their
constructor is not invoked, this new method of the Reflection API only
works for userland-defined classes.
Unless there are objections, I will commit this change to PHP_5_4 and
trunk on Monday. I will add the method to the documentation as well, of
course.
