PHP object graph visualizer

koriym/print_o is an object graph visualizer for PHP.  Here’s a Wikipedia answer to the question of “What is an object graph?”:

This web of objects is called an object graph and it is the more abstract structure that can be used in discussing an application’s state.

This tool is similar to some of my GraphViz tools (CakePHP model visualization with GraphViz, and PHP class inheritance with GraphViz), but it’s a lot more generic, and looks like a lot more powerful.
