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 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.
