 WP_Customize_Section uses `$keys = array_keys( get_class_vars( __CLASS__ )
 );` to set class variables, but WP_Customize_Control uses `$keys =
 array_keys( get_object_vars( $this ) );` to set class variables.

 The difference is that if you extend WP_Customize_Control you can add new
 class variables by setting them in the extended class and passing them to
 the args array in the constructor.
 In WP_Customize_Section one has to override the constructor to do the
 same.

 changing
 `$keys = array_keys( get_class_vars( __CLASS__ ) );`
 to
 `$keys = array_keys( get_object_vars( $this ) );`
 in WP_Customize_Section would solve the problem (or use the static keyword
 which would raise the requirements to PHP 5.3)
