I currently use foreach (array_keys($array) as $key) { ... }
to avoid complains from code analysers on unused var, is it slower?
One obvious pro of having a dedicated syntax is not having to ask those

In our code base I thinks it is quite common.
grepping on "foreach (array_keys" gives me 51 cases, while grepping "foreach ("
gives me 1153, so that’s 4% of our foreach uses.
