there are other ways in the language today to accomplish similar things. =
I would prefer to see interfaces used over more magic methods (something =
like ArraySerializable).

A Twitter user pointed out that 7.4 is adding two new magic methods =
<https://wiki.php.net/rfc/custom_object_serialization> - __serialize() =
and __unserialize(). So adding more magic methods to PHP isn't =
unprecedented.=20

On the same note, casting is already magical, so controling the =
implementation via a magic method is more in line with current =
functionality.
