Can we get some things straight first (i guess that's the idea of an alpha).
I'd like to reintroduce __toString() since 5.1 is supposed to make it work
again. The patching should be easy enough since we left in most of the
necessary code as we planned to reintroduce it in the first place.

Then i think we need to enable return by reference in c functions to get
array overloading fixed. For thta you have a patch from me. As you have for
several other things :-)

However most important seems to be fixing return by reference. Derick and me
already did a lot of analysis, weeks of and and. Maybe you want to help.

regards
