I can't quite explain it but for me the ability to work-around
private with methods which are able to access the private variable,
is different than marking a property as read-only but it not being
read-only in all semantics. Probably because private variables do
often have getters and setters, whereas something which is marked as
read-only (like a harddrive) tends to be read-only always.

However, the reason i write this mail is that you said there could be
problems. Well this is deply integrated in the handlers and they don't
let you out. In other words if this stuff is not working then the whole
PHP 5+ object model is broken. Or in other words, if this is broken alot
of other stuff regarding object handling is already broken.
You're probably right about this one. You can already return a
reference to a private variable today and change it. Andi - did you
mean something else?
