Comment (by Olly Betts):

 I debugged what happens when stringify overloads are added back in.

 The problem is that SWIG internally adds objects to a hash using the
 object as the hash key.  Perl stringifies the hash key to get a string to
 hash, and that doesn't work out well if the stringify overloads aren't a
 unique identifier for the C++ object (which the `Search::Xapian` overloads
 aren't).

 It'd be better if SWIG didn't rely on stringifying objects like this, but
 I'm not sure the `Search::Xapian` stringify overloads are a good idea
 either.
