I understand your concern, but I think being able to uniquely identify objects should be PHP feature and not a leaked implementation detail. Looking into other languages: - ruby has obj.object_id - python has id(obj) which is functionally equal to spl_object_hash(), I can not find anything about unique ID for now - perl has Object::ID module b.
