Bug description: var_dump() param for deactivating reference following
It would be very, very helpful if we could *disable*
reference resolution in var_dump() output, working with
circular references and then trying a var_dump() on any
involved object results in a really big mess, I killed my
browser after it grew up to 250Megs.
It´s really handy that var_dump() recognizes if it´s a
variable or not (by prepending &) and I can imagine that
profit supercedes the efforts to implement this greatly.
that applies to print_r() and similar functions too
