It is casting the external element and not the internal object

Description:
------------
Hello, when casting a SimpleXMLObject to an array, if the object is
empty it remains a SimpleXmlObject, and if the object contains only one
value it is converted to a string.
(array) <value /> = simpleXmlObject()
(array) <value>1</value> = "1"
(array) <value>1</value><value>2</value> =
array("1","2")
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$s[] = "<root><foo><value /></foo></root>";
$s[] = "<root><foo><value>1</value></foo></root>";
$s[] =
"<root><foo><value>1</value><value>2</value></foo></root>";
foreach($s as $sKey=>$xml_string) {
$o = simplexml_load_string($xml_string);
$a = (array)$o->foo;
echo $sKey." = "; print_r($a); echo "\n\n<br /><br />";
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
0 = Array ( [value] => Array ( ) )
1 = Array ( [value] => Array ( [0] => 1 ) )
2 = Array ( [value] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 ) )
Actual result:
--------------
0 = Array ( [value] => SimpleXMLElement Object ( ) )
1 = Array ( [value] => 1 )
2 = Array ( [value] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 ) )
