(i.e. where you can't use SplObjeccctStorage) Why? As far as i understand, the issue is that spl_object_hash() is slow and people want a faster alternatives. Although the initial reason for the faster alternative was to do maintain some classmap for a "random" PHP project, this has nothing to do with the fact spl_object_hash() is slow, especially compared to the proposed spl_object_id() function. Now, your "workarounds" using SplObjectStorage may work for the previous mentioned usecases - but how the frick is anyone supposed know to know about the wonders of SplObjectStorage? The doxygen is very confusing and definetly does not replace real documentation - plus it doesn't mention the things you are referring too (object => data map) or any of the other 5.3 features. -Hannes
