Ok thank you, anyway the good news is that I found a workaround for now
(creating classes of a given type once then cloning). And if I understand
correctly, once the issue you mention is resolved (and get_class() returns
a distinct class every time), I should have another alternative:
```
$object = eval('return new class (...) {};');
$class = get_class($object);
$anotherObjectOfSameClass = new $class();
```
And I do understand that my use case is border line, and does not deserve
too much attention.
It's very useful to be able to perform instanceof on objects that
dynamically implement an arbritary set of interfaces, though.
