Which could probably still be accomplished by making the object stringify
or
numerify (if thats a word..) itself. Which then bugs me; we'd almost be
required
to sit on one standard of what identifies an object, I'd assume it would be
some unique identifier value like GUID, but would that be the "stringify."
Also, should stringify be the same as serialize?
Just random thoughts blurted as I leave work... :)
