Function to create objects by passing an array of parameters to __construct()?

Question

I wonder if anyone know of a function to fully pragmatically create a class object similar to how call_user_func_array() works. What I want to do is pass a varying amount of parameters to the __construct().

I need something like:

$class = create_object('myobject', $array);

To have the behavior of;

$class = new myobject($array[0], $array[1], $array[2], ...);

Note: This is for a universal framework component so passing the whole array as the first construct parameter is not an option.

You can do this with PHP's features. You can unpack arrays as argument lists:

function create_object($type, array $args = [])
{
    return new $type(...$args);
}

Not sure the need for this though.
