I know its not quite what you had in mind (i.e. polymorphism) but I have
had some success with passing an associative array to a class
constructor and then letting the constructor figure out what to do. This
is a bit different from the $foo = null type of setup since you may
supply any number of keys in the associative array but undefined keys
have no value.
