Heh -- yes, & I'd like to add that doing a find and replace on mysqli 
function names would be far, far easier than trying to track down all 
the places where I had used the implicit __toString() call through 
(string) casts and concatenation ... and echo/print ...  (I'm sure I 
haven't found them all yet.)

I also doubt that really anyone is using the mysqli OO API directly ... 
(I kinda would hope that people building PHP5 apps would be using some 
kind of db abstraction system, whether PDO or PHP-based.)

just my [not-that-valuable] .02
