Is spl_object_hash() still useful? The string it creates used to be
quite a bit more complex, but eventually it became equivalent to
str_pad(dechex(spl_object_id($obj)), 16, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT) .
'0000000000000000'
I.e., it provides exactly the same content as spl_object_id, but in a
much more obtuse way. For anyone _needing_ that format, the polyfill is
just above.
I suppose there might be changes in the future which will make the hash
more useful (parallelism where objects are created simultaneously and
independently), but then it would be spl_object_id() that has trouble
coping.
