Do you really think this is necessary? I can see the automatic object->string casting being useful for things like print(), but when a extension author expects a string, would it make sense to make the object convert itself? I mean the result will most likely be some internal object info represented as a string, and not something meaningful.
I kind of agree with Andrei here. We discussed in the past that __toString() will not propogate to every place in the engine where we check for IS_STRING but will only effect print.
I think getting into this is a bad idea. If the old parameter passing API does so maybe that should be fixed.
