Description:
------------
For convenience, we should be able to use objects at any time, including into the language constructs.

Java implements .equals() in order to compare objects.
Such a request already exists, but in a single comment:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.object-comparison.php#85769

The basic/default behavior (fallback) for such a method would be same as actual.

The proto would be:
public function __equals(stdOject $comparisonObject)
and couldn't be called statically.

In the same way, having some __empty() method would be fine, which would act as empty() for the basic/default behavior.
