I can only second both statements. Love the idea (very useful!) and it
should indeed follow other "magic" method naming convention.
One additional comment, I am not sure about the manual merge of
properties. Maybe it should create an additional property called
"debugInfo" or something similar and store the result of __debugInfo
in it? It could be more user-friendly and less confusing.
