- Explain drawbacks of object_and_properties_init and zend_merge_properties.

# I guess we can live with the purity problem of potentially calling __set()

- Use this to prevent memleaks when an exception gets thrown in ctors.

including:
- Whether or not to pass by ref (replaces the old arg_types, with arg_info)
- Argument name (for future use, maybe introspection)
- Class/Interface name (for type hints)
- If a class/interface name is available, whether to allow a null instance
Both user and builtin functions share the same data structures.
To declare a builtin function that expects its first arg to be an instance
of class 'Person', its second argument as a regular arg, and its third by
reference, use:
ZEND_BEGIN_ARG_INFO(my_func_arg_info, 0)
ZEND_ARG_OBJ_INFO(0, someone, Person, 1)
ZEND_ARG_PASS_INFO(0)
ZEND_ARG_PASS_INFO(1)
ZEND_END_ARG_INFO();
and use my_func_arg_info as the arg_info parameter to the ZEND_FE() family
of macros.
The first arg to each ZEND_ARG_*() macro is whether or not to pass by ref.
The boolean arg to ZEND_BEGIN_ARG_INFO() tells the engine whether to treat
the arguments for which there's no explicit information as pass by reference
or not.
The boolean argument to ZEND_ARG_OBJ_INFO() (4th arg) is whether or not to allownull values.
- to retreive the zval **, thus allowing it to use the convert_to_*_ex()
- family of functions to do type conversions without effecting the value in
- the engine itself. (Josh Fuhs <fuhs@purdue.edu>)
Supply a dup version (like estrdup).
Fix tolower() handling.
# Havin copy and dup allows to use the faster version even with
# memory not allocated by emalloc.
