Description:
------------
I would expect casting to a string to have the same result as calling the
__toString() function on extending a SimpleXMLElement object.
I've tested this against

Test script:
---------------
<?php
class UberSimpleXML extends SimpleXMLElement {
public function __toString() {
return 'stringification';
}
}
$xml = new UberSimpleXML('<xml/>');
$xml->tag = "you're it!";
echo "\nno cast\n";
echo $xml;
echo "\ncast\n";
echo (string) $xml;
echo "\nexplicit call\n";
echo $xml->__toString();
echo "\n";
var_dump((string) $xml);
var_dump($xml->__toString());
Expected result:
----------------
no cast
stringification
cast
explicit call
stringification
string(0) ""
string(15) "stringification"
Actual result:
--------------
no cast
stringification
cast
stringification
explicit call
stringification
string(15) "stringification"
string(15) "stringification"
