Sorry, I didn't read carefully enough. But var_dump() manual page
states:

| In PHP 5 all public, private and protected properties of objects will
| be returned in the output.

Therefore, I think that Jakub forgot to add var_dump() when he removed
", on the contrary to <function>var_dump</function>" from print_r()
documentation.

I can't help here, sorry.
