SplFileObject->__toString() is an alias for current() which will return the
current line of file
http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_5_3/ext/spl/spl_directory.c#2954
http://www.php.net/manual/en/splfileobject.tostring.php
it seems that the class synopsis at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.splfileobject.php is missing this method
so it is easy to think that it isn't provided by the SplFileObject so the
parent't method will be used, which isn't the case.
