Description:
------------
It would be a nice feature to be able to access
private/protected from outside a class. (I know there's
already read-only access.) It might be useful for example
to unset Singleton instances.

Here's some code I use for it. It requires runkit but it
might also work with classkit. Feel free to use it:

class PropertyManipulatorMethods
{

public function getProperty($property)
{
return $this->$property;
}

public function setProperty($property, $value)
{
$this->$property = $value;
}

public static function getStaticProperty($property)
{
return self::$$property;
}

public static function setStaticProperty($property,
$value)
{
self::$$property = $value;
}

}

class PropertyManipulator
{

public static function addMethods($class)
{

foreach(get_class_methods('PropertyManipulatorMethods') as
$method)
{
runkit_method_copy($class, $method,
'PropertyManipulatorMethods');
}
}

}

Sorry, but I won't add a dependency on Runkit to PHPUnit, yet.
