It's been a while since I posted any updates about this, a few individuals =
have been asking about it privately and wanting me to get it out the door f=
or PHP 5.5 release.  It's come a long way since the last time I posted abou=
t it.

RFC Document: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/propertygetsetsyntax-as-implemented

Example Usage:

class TimePeriod {
    private $Seconds =3D 3600;

    public $Hours {
        get { return $this->Seconds / 3600; }
        set { $this->Seconds =3D $value; }
        isset<http://www.php.net/isset> { return isset<http://www.php.net/i=
sset>($this->Seconds); }
        unset<http://www.php.net/unset> { unset<http://www.php.net/unset>($=
this->Seconds); }
    }
}

Changes / Updates

*         isset/unset accessor functions now implemented (object & static c=
ontext, auto implementations, etc)

*         static accessor now fully functional

*         Reference functionality validated, tests written

*         All operators have been tested, tests written

*         read-only and write-only keywords: Added explanation of reasons f=
or inclusion at the top of the appropriate RFC section

*         Tested for speed, approaches or meets __get() speed.

Internally things have changed quite a bit

*         cleaned up and simplified

*         had been using 4 to 5 additional fn_flag slots, now down to two (=
READ_ONLY and WRITE_ONLY)

*         the automatic implementations now compiled internal php code, thi=
s greatly simplified that part of the code and future proofed it.

The code is available at the url below and is up to date with master, all t=
ests pass.

I'd like to get this project wrapped up in time to make it to the 5.5 relea=
se, only a few things remain to be completed/updated:

*         Check on reflection code written prior to major changes (tests st=
ill pass)

*         Add a few more reflection functions that were requested

In total there are 79 tests for this new functionality, if there are any ot=
hers that I have missed, please let me know.
