replace_objects

NAME

replace_objects() - recursively render objects in a value as strings

SYNOPSIS

mixed replace_objects( mixed value );

DESCRIPTION

Walks `value` (an object, array, class, or mapping, to any depth) and
returns a copy in which every object is replaced by a descriptive
string — its object name plus, via the master apply object_name(),
a readable label, or "(destructed)" for a destructed object. Arrays,
classes and mappings keep their structure; other values pass through
unchanged. Chiefly a debugging / dump helper.
