Hi Internals,

I wanted to share the "CustomCast" extension[1] that I wrote over the
summer. I originally wrote it as just a learning exercise for me to get
familiar with PHP internals, but given some recent discussions
(particularly around operator overloads) I figured it might be useful for
others.

Basically, the extension allows a class to control how it should be treated
when cast to a boolean, integer, or float.

If this extension is useful to others, I can look into getting it published
on PECL.

Thanks,
--Daniel Scherzer
