That was my thought initially, too. But I think it is wrong. If PHP ever gets around to provide objects-themselves-as-array-keys support, it can easily do that 1) only if the object does not have such a __toKey() method, or 2) if the object has one, but it returns the object itself (which is forbidden now by the RFC) best regards Patrick
