AndiIt is supported by "print" and for internal extensions such as SimpleXML which require this.How is it supported by "print" whenprint $defect->thrownException()does not work but the object returned from thrownException() has a __toString() method? Hopefully, this still works (don't have a recent PHP5 build to try):print (string)$defect->thrownException();The explicit cast also addresses this case:print (string)$defect->thrownException() . "\n";
