And I would be in favour of just making it always $value, if people feel that strongly about being able to name it with a custom name they could propose this as a follow-up RFC. One thing the RFC should note, which I would expect to be the same as the array cast, is how do backed/virtual properties interact with get_mangled_object_vars() Best regards, Gina P. Banyard
