i've been trying to look at zend_execute_API to figure out how to stop
it from going to a class's __call() method for build-in functions -
already had run into this with __sleep()/__wake(), now much more so
with __toString(). but it's just out of my league so far.

does it seem like a reasonable thing to do? thought it good to check
before getting to much further.
