No automatic output encoding is > performed for anything else." That's actually something I wanted to ask about too. Do we really need such kind of magic? I think it may be pretty confusing when after echo'ing or print'ing a variable you can see one output, but after writing the very same variable into a file you can see something completely different. IMO it's similar to what we have with __toString() ATM. Yes, it's documented, but it's *still* confusing that there is some magic involved in one case and there is no magic in an other, almost similar case. -- Wbr, Antony Dovgal
