- c. POST data handling

+ k. The get_class_entry object handler is no longer available. Instead
+ zend_object.ce is always used.
+
+ l. The get_class_name object handler is now only used for displaying class
+ names in debugging functions like var_dump(). It is no longer used in
+ get_class(), get_parent_class() or similar.
+
+ The handler is now obligatory, no longer accepts a `parent` argument and
+ must return a non-NULL zend_string*, which will be released by the caller.
