Bug description:"array to string conversion" notice should contain more 
information

Description:
------------
The "Array to string conversion" notice message should at the very least
include 
the name of the array variable that is being converted to string.

A line of code may contain a lot of variables, so figuring out which one is
the 
unexpected array can be a pain in the ass.

Even the backtrace won't contain enough information since it only gives the
line 
but not the position within the line.

Test script:
---------------
$string1="foo";
$string2="bar";
$string3=array("Whoops, this is an array");
$string4="bla bla";

echo $string1.$string2.$string3.$string4.

Expected result:
----------------
PHP NOTICE at /path/to/file.php (6): Array to string conversion for
variable 
'string3'

Actual result:
--------------
PHP NOTICE at /path/to/file.php (6): Array to string conversion
