Description:
------------
When a form element's name is an integer, even though it is
given as a string in the addElement function, rules are not
applied to the element. Therefore, the form validates even if
some rules would have normally prevented it.

html_quickform version : 3.2.5
php version : bug tested with versions 4 and 5

Test script:
---------------
require_once 'HTML/QuickForm.php';

$form = new HTML_QuickForm();
$form->addElement('text','1','Label');
$form->addRule('1','Label is required !','required');

if ($form->validate()) {
echo "Form submitted";
} else {
echo $form->toHtml();
}

Expected result:
----------------
If the form's text input is left blank, the string "Label is
required !" should appear, showing that the form did not
validate.

Actual result:
--------------
When the form's text input is left blank, the string "Form
submitted" appears, showing that the form did validate, which
should not because of the rule we added.
