I am sorry if I missed the whole thread. I think that using the result of __toString() for indexing objects is a bad idea. If we want to allow this behavior (which is actually useful in some situations), I'd rather we had a __hash() method or something similar to what Python does. The string representation of the object and its hashed representation may be very different. -Andrei On Jun 3, 2006, at 4:42 AM, Marcus Boerger wrote:
Hello guys, the attached patch closes one more __toString() part. It allows to use objects that define __toString as indexes to arrays. What do you guys think about this, should we add it or stay with the old behavior that didn't allow objects as indexes at all. --Best regards,
