Zeev and I designed each() to deprecate key()/current()/etc. which came from PHP/FI 2. Maybe not exactly what you're looking for but just want to point out that there have always been some issues with the latter functions. If each() isn't suitable (and/or you want something quicker) than I'm OK with an array_* function but I don't like array_valid(). It sounds too much like is_array() and implies the array is valid. Maybe something like array_valid_position()?

Actually the point is that you cannot simply do stuff like
"while(key($array))". And "while(key($array) != 0)" doesn't work either.
Also "if (!key($array))" is probably different from what you expect.
And of course "isset(key($array))" doens't work either.

Best regards,
 Marcus
