Subject: Invokation on __toString() for object used as array key
From: nicolai.scheer@gmail.com (Nicolai Scheer)

Hi all,

until 5 minutes ago I thought it would be perfectly legal to use an object
as an array key, given that its __toString() method is in place.

Seems as if I was wrong.
I know that array keys are not what is considered "string context"
internally, at least not directly.

Would it harm in any way to add that feature?

Greetings

Nico
