Subject: Object Type Casting
From: xwisdom@gmail.com (Raymond Irving)

Hello,

Are there any plans to add object type casting support in PHP?

For example:
$circle  = (Circle) ShapeFactory::createShape('circle');
$circle->radius = 10;
echo $circle->getArea();

It would be great if this feature could be added to 5.5 :)
