Hi!
However, assignment overloading does not seem viable to me.
Also, I'm not sure how this is possible technically: $obj = {expression} is
supposed to replace $obj with the result of the expression, not call methods
on $obj.
The engine already calls methods on $obj when that happens. That's

Is there no need to implement the get() function in userland?

Hello Antony,
You did a nice work for the RFC.
However, I have to disagree with the name __assign, because it limits the
type casting operation only to assignments. An implicit type casting could
very well happen upon calling a function with type hints.
Therefore, I would suggest the use of som

Hi!
I can think of a few: bridges to foreign types (e.g. Java objects),
SimpleXML like libraries and bigint objects, for instance. The RFC has
more examples.
This all can be (and is) done with engine-level hooks. As I noted in my
previous mail, most RFC examples are either exotic (like limite

Agreed. Discussion about type hinting/etc should remain on the other
topics.
Regarding this proposal, I need to look over it in more detail as I've only
just skimmed it. But on a conceptual level at least, I think it definitely
has merit.

Hey all,
I've created a draft version of the RFC for implementing __castTo()
and __assign():

It's still a draft, and has a lot more work to do, but I figured this
would be enough to start triggering some discussion (or at least a
little bit more focused
