Today I ran into a problem because I needed to register an internal
class that had some protected methods. Currently, the only way to do it
is by doing a zend_hash_find() on ce->function_table after registration
and updating fn_flags field manually. We should find an easier way to
specify fn_flags before registration. What does everyone think of adding
an extra field to zend_function_entry structure that would contain
initial flags for the method?

Agreed!
Please make a new PHP_FE_EX or PHP_METHOD macro for that...
