Not bringing the issue back up on the list, I was just wondering if
there is a supporter of type hinting that would be willing to help me
implement an automatic conversion of objects with a __tostring() method
to strings if the object was passed as an argument with a string type
hint.

Oi

Willing, but quite unable ... or i don't exactly know what helping might 
involve ^^
I suspect C-programming and patch-testing ... if you are willing to 
share some knowledge with the latter, count me in.
