I completely agree with Thies here; There's no reason not to make these standard names at the language level. As a matter of fact, there's already a function in Zend called to_string(), that is used to print out the object, if it exists (instead of printing 'Object'). I think the best approach would be to change the semantics of to_string() to actually return a string, instead of printing it out, so that it could be used for serialization.
