Description:
------------
Arrays and objects are not currently allowed as keys.

Instead of:

$values[$object] = 0;

the programmer is forced to create string or integer keys for 
all objects we want to use as keys:

$values[$object->id] = 0;

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but I couldn't find 
anything in the feature requests.  So I am making a formal 
request.  I know Python and Ruby allow this.  Thanks.

Won't fix ever?  What's the rationale?
