Hello, everyone! This proposal adds two new classes to the SPL:
- `Spl\ReverseArrayIterator`. It iterates over an array in reverse order. It does not duplicate the array. - `Spl\ForwardArrayIterator`. It iterates over an array in forward (normal) order. It does not duplicate the array. They both implement Countable which returns the `count()` of the array. The [PR][1] has some examples and discusses why I am proposing `ForwardArrayIterator` when there is already `ArrayIterator`, the short of which is for performance. There are timing numbers in [one of the comments][2]. When it comes time to vote I may merge this into another RFC with [`CachedIterable` by Tyson Andre][3], which I recommend readers also take a look at. Whether we team up for the RFC vote or not, I wanted to get this out there for discussion and review.
