No, you didn't, sorry.

I just didn't see how an object with an explicit method to convert it
to a string compared to using a resource straight up as a key. If you
were implying the resource would be cast to int, then I get the
comparison.

Does it really make bugs that hard to find? You'd expect the user to
know when they're using this behaviour when they write the code...
well, I would.

I suppose explicit casting removes any ambiguity, we use
$a[(int)$resource] all the time for arrays of sockets and that's
served us fine over the years. Hmm, thinking about it
$a[(string)$object] is a lot clearer than having some magic sort it
out. You're right, I'll retreat now :)
