New Comment:
This has been discussed and rejected multiple times as we'd have some
conflicts. For instace should $a = new $object(); $b = array(); $b[$a] =
1; call toString or toNumber?
Please see other bug reports on this and internals archives for more
reasons.

Description:
------------
Add the magic method __toNumber.
Reproduce code:
---------------
class Number
{
private $number;
//some useful example methods
function isBetween($a, $b) { //is number between ? }
//etc
function __toNumber()
{
return $this->number;
}
}
Expected result:
----------------
$c = new Number(3);
echo $c; //outputs: 3
var_dump($c->isBetween(2, 4)) //returns true
//cast it too a Price object (extended from Number)
$price = (Price) $c;
//override __toNumber()
echo $c; //outputs 3.00 for example
