Description:
------------
A stdClass shouldn't allow invalid proprieties names.

Numbers are not valid propriety name.

$object = new stdClass();
$object->0 = 1; //This is invalid
$object->{"\0"} = 1; //This is valid, why???

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$data = array( 'a', 'asdas' => 2312 );

print_r( (object) $data );

Expected result:
----------------
stdClass Object
(
    [asdas] => 2312
)

Actual result:
--------------
stdClass Object
(
    [0] => a
    [asdas] => 2312
)

While it is not valid to define a property name with a leading digit in a class definition, the braced syntax in your example is a perfectly legal way of creating these kinds of properties.

As an example, if these properties were illegal we wouldn't be able to work with JSON:

$obj = json_decode('{"0": "hi"}');
var_dump($obj->{0}); // string(2) "hi"

Thanks for taking the time to report this though.
