    It's worth notting that ArrayObject::exchangeArray() doesn't call ArrayObject::offsetSet() internally for each offset/property of the array/object provided in argument.

    It's also worth noting the let's say "unexpected" behavior of get/set:

    <?php
    class MyArrayObject extends ArrayObject
    {
    public function     offsetSet($name, $value)
    {
    parent::offsetSet($name . '_control', $value);
    parent::offsetSet($name, $value);
    }
    }

    $test = new MyArrayObject();
    $test->setFlags(\ArrayObject::ARRAY_AS_PROPS);
    $test['my_value_1'] = 1;
    $test['my_value_1'] = $test['my_value_1'] + 1;
    $test['my_value_1'] += 1;
    $test['my_value_1'] ++;
    ++     $test['my_value_1'];

    $test->my_value_2 = 1;
    $test->my_value_2 = $test->my_value_2 + 1;
    $test->my_value_2 += 1;
    $test->my_value_2 ++;
    ++     $test->my_value_2;

    print_r($test);

    // Prints out:
    MyArrayObject Object
    (
    [    storage:ArrayObject:private] => Array
    (
    [    my_value_1_control] => 3
    [my_value_1] => 5
    [my_value_2_control] => 2
    [my_value_2] => 5
    )
    )
    ?>
