Hi, I prepared a patch [1] which enables serialize() to keep track of object/variable references through its var_hash throughout recursive calls to serialize().
See the test included in the patch respectively bug #45706 [2] what this exactly means. It also has the side affect that the hack [3] in spl_array.c is apparently no longer needed. All serialization tests pass. There should not be any need to change external code (except hack-alike things like those obsoleted in spl_array.c), but ABI compatibility is broken and it's quite an intrusive change to the serialization code, so I start here and not with `svn ci` ;) Objections, comments?
