@kboyd I'm pretty sure you can't, and probably shouldn't. Instead, you can have freeze() return a new instance that is now frozen (whatever that means in context), and overwrite $object with it.
@Crell@kboyd Otherwise your object would need to know about context outside which would be... Interesting.
But what about a Freezer object that handles all the objects? I mean. Real life analogy would be to prepare something, put it into the freezer and when I need it, I take the frozen thing from there... 🤷
@kboyd IIRC how Doctrine's proxies work, you can make it work with the opposite: you instatiate the child, but switch to the parent's behavior transparently on demand.
Yeah, that's not what you asked, but if even @ocramius couldn't do any dark magic to do what you're asking, it's probably impossible 😂
@ocramius@alessandrolai an extension that should never exist. (And if I was going to write an extension for this, it would solve the original use case rather than this esoteric object-swapping stuff)
