This looks like a cheap attempt at how .NET does strings.
And JavaScript/Java/Ruby etc etc.

The point as I see it is to try and fudge PHP into being a proper OO language (and by that I mean that everything is considered an object not just an OO layer fudged on the top of an existing language *cough*C++*cough*).

I agree for PHP it mostly has no practical use, apart from adding more overhead. However it is an interesting way of showing what can be done.
