+Symfony mechanim for exploring and dumping PHP variables
+========================================================
+
+This component provides a mechanism that allows exploring then dumping
+any PHP variable.
+
+It handles scalar, objects and resources properly, taking hard and soft
+references into account. More than being immune to inifinite recursion
+problems, it allows dumping where references link to each other.
+It explores recursive structures using a breadth-first algorithm.
+
+The component exposes all the parts involved in the different steps of
+cloning then dumping a PHP variable, while applying size limits and having
+specialized output formats and methods.
