Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

The object you pass is a ImplClass which has a write method. Your problem here is that PHP does only dynamic binding and resolving at runtime unlike for example C++.
