True. Checking again, the implementation of spl_object_hash doesn't include the handlers, so I don't need to worry. > You can drop the masking.

Of course those would still serve as IDs just as well. That makes sense. I'm omitting the XOR (and returning the unobfuscated object handle/id) in the proposed change, then.
