Comment:

 Cross-posting from #11518 :

 I believe hakre's argument is based on a misinterpretation of the docs.
 What the PHP docs say literally is not to define function names beginning
 with {{{__}}} unless you want the magic behavior for that function. I've
 never seen anything that says you can't or shouldn't call on a magic
 function.

 This ticket seems to exist for the sake of fixing something that isn't
 broken, and I think it's invalid.
