Right, these conversions to "opaque" objects are primarily internal representation changes that do not affect the API of the extension, modulo is_resource() checks. In the future, we may wish to add proper object-oriented APIs to these objects (they are currently maximally locked down to allow future extension). Those API additions should go through the RFC process (or at least mailing list discussions) as they tend to be more nuanced than dumb resource->object conversions. Nikita
