The point is that it won't work in this way:
$a = [ $ustring => $value ];
foreach ($a as $key => $v) {
$key->ustring_method();
}
but one needs something along the lines of
$a = [ $ustring => $value ];
foreach ($a as $key => $v) {
Utring::fromHashCode($key)->ustring_method();
}
which likely looses object identity.
It works but is not really nice :-)
