I think you mean if
echogets passed a variable that can not be displayed as a string, show a dump, instead of the current behaviour of showing its data type (e.g.Array)?That would indeed make sense, but also be dangerous: What if an object contains data that the end user is not supposed to see?
I doubt the
echofunction (or, to be more exact, the string parsing functions of PHP) will undergo such a radical change, for exactly this reason.
