Re: [RFC][VOTE] Objects as Keys

Hi! > I was previously in favour of this, but it’d prevent actual indexing No, of course it won't - if we ever introduce indexing objects (which probably will require rewrite of the HashTable, any takers?) it would be very easy to index any object that does not implement __hash without any BC problem, and convert all those implementing __hash to "return $this" if desired. > by objects in future, and I can’t think of any use cases which > aren’t better solved by explicitly converting to a string/integer. There's no implicit conversion, and explicit one is a) inacessible in userspace for anything but string and b) annoying for the same reasons for which __toString exists. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
