 As of PHP 5.0.0, the second parameter to mysql_fetch_object takes a class
 name which will be instantiated instead of stdClass. This will be handy as
 we upgrade core objects (see #12267 and #15458). I am using the attached
 patch on WordPress.com to simplify a lazy process. The effect is similar
 to what  does with WP_User but the code is much simpler.

 The attached patch is fully backward-compatible unless you have defined
 classes named OBJECT, OBJECT_K, ARRAY_A, or ARRAY_N.

 It could be improved by supporting the third parameter to
 mysql_fetch_object, an array of parameters to pass to the constructor.
 (For instance, you might want to pass $blog_id when constructing a
 WP_User). Adding this parameter would be perfectly simple if get_row did
 not already have a third parameter, $y, which is not used in core and
 should be removed because it invites wasteful queries.
