Re: Autoboxing in PHP

Should'nt any autobox callback should not only recieve the value to be autoboxed, but also the context information? I.e. the method name to be called on the variable? otherwise you cannot decide between different behaviours. Also i wouldn't know how to have an autobox callback not to accept the value, return false?
