That's actually something I wanted to ask about too.

Do we really need such kind of magic?

I think it may be pretty confusing when after echo'ing or print'ing a variable 
you can see one output, but after writing the very same variable into a file 
you can see something completely different.

IMO it's similar to what we have with __toString() ATM.
Yes, it's documented, but it's *still* confusing that there is some magic 
involved in one case and there is no magic in an other, almost similar case.
