Description:
------------
Trying to use reflection for the firstChild property of a DOMElement throws a "Property DOMElement::$firstChild does not exist" ReflectionException.
Live test: https://3v4l.org/oQWMn

This is particularly disruptive when using PHPSpec, which wraps all property access into reflection checks.

Test script:
---------------
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->loadHTML('<html><body></body></html>');
$e = $doc->getElementsByTagname('html')->item(0);
echo get_class($e->firstChild); // DOMElement
new ReflectionProperty('DOMElement', 'firstChild'); // throws
