PHP has reserved all method names with a double underscore prefix for future use

Hi,

PHP has reserved all method names with a double underscore prefix for future use.
There is five methods impacted :

• __isAuthenticated
• __toArray
• __getMaximumSupportedVersion
• __isAllowed
• __getWWWAuthentificationString

If we rename all method to remove double underscore, it will introduce breaking change. But as it impacts interfaces, I do not see any good solution.

Is this a change that can be considered?
I did a little test that could become a merge request.

I created a PR in this sense. #616
Thanks for your feedback !

We need to apply this fix on RC5 and RC6 without affecting existing users on lower PHP versions

I'm still thinking about how to version this. I don't think we can call it RC5.1 and RC6.1

Also, Restler 6 is almost ready https://github.com/Arul-/reactive-restler/tree/dev

Once it is feature complete it will be released here.

Your ideas are welcome!

Restler 4, and 5 (formally RC5 and RC^) won't have this change. Only restler 6 will have it
