Currently setLocation() returns old location when called, but if new one is not provided it will unset location property.Adding a getLocation is a practical way of getting current location from client. It would be a convenient way to get location where next request will go directly from client instead of pulling that data from elsewhere, especially if location can change, for example when there is a fallback mechanism around SoapClient.

Adding getLocation method to a SoapClient:

$client = new SoapClient('http://example.com/some.wsdl');
$location = $client->__getLocation();

No backward incompatible changes.
