Actually, that's a typecast. Try using an explicit one in the code,
you'll notice that it runs the same.

lappy ~ # php
<?php
class test {
var $a;
var $b;
}

$test = new test();
$test->a = 'abc';
$test->b = 'hey, you';

var_dump((array) $test);
?>

array(2) {
  ["a"]=>
  string(3) "abc"
  ["b"]=>
  string(8) "hey, you"
}

Mark, you were right, and the documentation is correct.
