That's a worse thing because that is really magic. So when you traverse a
xml document you have no idea what you will get. And also how do i get the
text content of an element then?
I've posted my ideas alread. Allow (string)$obj casting or provide a second
object handler that only works for printing with the __toString and we are
done. (The latter is my favorite of course).
