Ah right. settype() modifies the original object instead of returning
a cast version of the object. Yea, settype() should probably fail for
objects.
So, it's:
echo, print, (string), strval(), "$obj", and printf("%s", $obj) (plus
printf() variants).
That's my complete list. AFAIK, everything but strval() works right
now. We just need to fix that function.
Also, I don't know why exit() would call __toString(). That doesn't
make sense to me.
