Bug description:  allow additional, optional arguements to __get()

Description:
------------
I wish it were possible to declare a __get() magic method with additional,
optional arguments, in addition to the required $name argument.

It makes total sense for any __get() magic method declaration to *require*
exactly one argument, but it would be nice to allow additional, optional
arguments. Optional arguments would get default values when __get() is
called magically, but could be specified if __get() is called manually.

This is already the case with the ArrayAccess interface (it makes sense
that there is a difference between SPL interfaces and PHP magic methods,
but optional arguments is a pattern I find useful with ArrayAccess and
would find useful with __get()...)

I successfully declare offsetGet() with additional, optional arguments:

<?php

class Foo implements ArrayAccess
{
  public function offsetGet($offset, array $options = array())
  {
    [...]
  }

  [...]
}

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

class Foo
{
  public function __get($name, array $options = array())
  {
  }
}

Actual result:
--------------
ket% php foo.php 

Fatal error: Method Foo::__get() must take exactly 1 argument in
/home/jablko/foo.php on line 7
ket%
