Hey all.

Instead of adding more magic I personally like the approach of
explicitness more and your suggest adding an interface "Arrayable"
(naming is hard and this might not be the best name) instead. Whether
that interface then defines a `__toArray()`-method or something entirely
different is then a different matter.

Additionally this would be in line with Nicolas RFC regarding
"Stringable" (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/stringable)

Just my 0.02=E2=82=AC

Cheers

Andreas
