I think that "hello" should be printed. Even if the result of clone()ing
isn't going to be used, the side-effects should always occur (at least to be
consistence). I would bet that other languages would do the same.

When it comes to "empty" clone statements, should they be executed and
then free the result (current behavior) or avoid clone all together.
For example when class x { function __clone() { echo "hello"; } } clone
new x(); code is executed, should it print hello or not print anything at
all, treating the clone operation as a NOOP?
Current behavior calls clone and then frees the result, meaning that
"hello" is printed, but I am uncertain that this is the correct behavior,
any comments?
