var_dump($someobject); shows only public properties (as I'd expect), but print_r($someobject) shows all properties (explicitly identifying protected/private props).

I agree with Derick and Andrey in that if anything should be changed it is var_dump. Reasoning: PPP is there to specify an interface, not to be used in a sandbox way. Both var_dump and print_r are for human inspection and I don't an advantage in hiding information there, quite the opposite. - Chris
