  <para>
   <function>msql_fetch_object</function> is similar to
   <function>msql_fetch_array</function>, with one difference - an
   object is returned, instead of an array.  Indirectly, that means
   that you can only access the data by the field names, and not by
   their offsets (numbers are illegal property names).
  </para>  
  <para>
   Speed-wise, the function is identical to
   <function>msql_fetch_array</function>, and almost as quick as
   <function>msql_fetch_row</function> (the difference is
   insignificant).
