I want to throw together a quick hack so that objects can implement a
__as_string() method that will get called when the string is used in a string
contex. Instead of append "Object".
$s = (string)$object;
or
$s .= $object;
also the same things with arrays that will do something similar to
$s = implode(" ", $array);
$s = (string)$array;
$s = $array . "\n";
Before anyone jumps on this and says no way cause it easy to implemnt your own
__to_string() and call it when you want it or what is wrong with implode(" ",
$array). Think of exactly how usefull is appending the word "Array" or
"Object".
Thoughts?
