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?

Nice to have... marcus
