Hey Larry,

I've long argued against allowing __toString() for reasons others have already covered, so I won't bother repeating it. But off hand I don't see why __debugInfo() would cause a problem. I am not sure it's useful before ADTs happen, but I don't think it would cause any harm?I found to semi-commonly (the ergonomics of querying are bad) add attributes to enum cases. A __debugInfo() handler could provide information about all attached metadata. Bob
