This is my first post here, so forgive me if I'm not doing this right.
It seems like php objects need a magic function __dump or __debug or something
similiar to handle these kinds of situations. I can see why this might be
construed as hackish / lame, but by that token, var_dump itself is. It seems
like the only alternative solution is to write special debugging functions for
each class, which makes var_dump less useful than it could be. Maybe I'm crazy,
but I always thought that var_dump should be used to really tell me as much as
possible about any variable I passed in. If all I wanted was the array output,
I could just as easily use print_r instead.
