Hello Pavel, technically object id is neither what you get nor what you want. It is not unique and thus not helpfull and we have no intention to ever provide a function to access it. See mail archieve for reference on why we won't. Also the function resides in extension SPL so correctly it is prefixed with 'spl_'. Furthermore it is no engine specific function but an object oriented programming specific one. So SPL indeed is a very good place for it. Lastly the function per design hashes the unique input it gives as we do not want to make it more complex than necessary or give you stuff that leads to missuse. Again see mail archive for why. That said the name appears to be the best option already.
