Description:
------------
A toNumeric(), toArray, toObject would be handy so can cast an object in different ways.

Eg, If I had a object which had the queried result set from a database query within a private member, then could use toString() to display the current row as say a HTML version of it, use toArray to return the current row as an array, and use toObject to return the current row as an object.

Duplicate of other requests, and the idea of casting objects to other types has been discussed multiple times on the mailing list.
