Two things that need fixing :
    1. support for class constants for internal classes. Christiano has
already posted a patch.
    2. session support for internal classes. should we have a Serializable
interface which classes inherit, or have sleep and wakeup
        handlers in the zend_object_handlers structure ?

I applied his patch. As I told him I don't think persistent internal 
classes across requests will be supported with all the bells and whistles. 
In general they should work but I expect more problems to be found such as 
not being able to initialize constants with arrays (which is no big deal IMO).

I guess it's possible. In most cases I think internal classes won't be 
serialized though, such as COM. I don't think it needs fixing though. It's 
something which can be added whenever...
