So I've just tested these things and the accessors perform the same way as =
with __get()/__set().

empty() - Returns true for a property retrieved via __get() or via a getter=
 -- Any idea why this would be the case for __get()?  Is this a bug?

unset() - Would unset a temporary variable (the one returned by the getter)=
 -- see previous email re: adding unset/isset property functions.

sort() - Does the same thing as with __get()/__set() which is to say, the a=
rray is sorted but the property is not updated with the value.  Should acce=
ssor behave differently than the magic methods?  Should this just be docume=
nts or should this be fixed?
