Bug description:  Addition of magic method "__valueOf" allowing object 
conversion to number

Description:
------------
In the current implementation it's impossible to convert an object to a
number.

I should exist a magic method called "__valueOf" which must return a
float/int. In the case this magic method isn't declared , it should be
returned a not zero value when converting to number (it happens, but
generates the E_NOTICE anyway).

Reproduce code:
---------------
class Number{
        private $value;
        public function __construct($n){
                $this->value = +$n;
        }
        public function __toString(){
                return (string)$this->value;
        }
        public function __valueOf(){
                return $this->value;
        }
}

$n = new Number(2);
echo $n . ':' . +$n;

Expected result:
----------------
2:2

Actual result:
--------------
Notice: Object of class Number could not be converted to int in
C:\test.php on line 16
2:1
