Description:
------------
Using HTML_QuickForm, version 3.2.3, it is not possible to create custom elements with more than 5 arguments in the constructor.

i have traced this problem to HTML/QuickForm/element.php, where in the function onQuickFormEvent, case 'createElement' calls the constructor with only 5 arguments, as seen below

this limitation is not documented anywhere.

would it be possible to remove this limitation?

Reproduce code:
---------------
<<<
From HTML/QuickForm/element.php, lines 345-347:
case 'createElement':
$className = get_class($this);
$this->$className($arg[0], $arg[1], $arg[2], $arg[3], $arg[4]);
>>>

<<<
my custom constructor:
[...]
function HTML_QuickForm_dblselect($elementName=null, $elementLabel=null, $attributes=null, $selectAttributes=null, $buttonAttributes=null, $spacer=null)
{
[...]
>>>

Expected result:
----------------
I expected to receive a value for $spacer if passed.

Actual result:
--------------
$spacer is always null, no matter what happens. after hacking element.php to accept 6 arguments to an element constructor, it works as expected.

What about using an options array like in other custom elements. You can look at the date element for an example.
