hmm, I guess we should make a note of it. Though the __toString() method
will only work in php 5.2.0+ (I've just tested it on 4.4.6 (which
obviously didn't work... d'oh...) and 5.1.3 (which returned an error)).

I agree it should be documented, as object to string conversion is not
always automatic.
example: $array[$object] = 2;

Should we mention that define() also accepts objects with
__toString() implemented..
or is that generally expected?

Ha! That does got completely against what the dox currently say.
It should be documented with an appropriate example otherwise users may
read it as supporting ANY object, not just those with a __toString()
method.
Maybe document both class types - with and without a __toString() method
to really drive the point home.
