Aren´t one allowed to have return in __string_value()?

you should return string-only! btw, return $this produces nice string-patterns (sometimes returning crashes, eg. property of some object) :) I´d say you should follow the rules and write some 'string' into it, even variables are not allowed I suppose

    i'm for removing the __string_value() call alltogether!

I also think it should be removed. I think the user shouldn't have a problem to write print $obj->string_value() instead of print $obj;. It is confusing especially as it only works with "print" and not throughout PHP. And I really, as discussed on php-dev, don't want to see this propogate all of PHP.
