    public function get($name, $default = null, $flags = 0)
    {
        if ($this->_data !== null && array_key_exists($name, $this->_data))
            return $this->_data[$name];
        if (func_num_args() === 1 || ($flags & self::FLAG_NO_DEFAULT) != 0) {
            require_once 'Plex/Exception.php';
            throw new Plex_Exception("No such member: $name");
        }
        return $default;
    }
    public function __get($name)
    {
        return $this->get($name);
    }

But I don't want the default behavior to be to return a reference.
