Consider the documentation at http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.object-comparison.php : the documentation is a little vague, but it does say "Two object instances are equal if they have the same attributes and values, and are instances of the same class." Thus explaining the recursive loop... Maybe write a big flashing note in the documentation instead about this trap?
Better, if two values satisfy ===, they are clearly ==. I would imagine it would not be expensive to simply do a === check before doing the == check in the engine?
That might actually be a good idea. It would definitely solve some headaches and be faster.
Does anyone object to me doing this?
