btw. this also affects quite a few other functions: next/current/
key/...
at least ... and maybe more after using the "new" parameter parsing
API.
I would say "no" for 5.3. But for 6 it would be fantastic to have
all array-related operations supporting ArrayAccess interface, where
possible.
I was hoping someone would revive this thread (-:
In Habari, we have/had an ArrayObject that we passed to the view
(theme). As far as the theme knows, this is an array (but it has extra
methods if the theme is particularly smart).
Unfortunately, this breaks in 5.3, because many of the themes use
reset() to get the first element of the array (ArrayObject, but the
theme doesn't necessarily know this).
This is a real-world BC break, and without allowing ArrayObject to act
like an array, it's nearly useless. We've temporarily "solved" this by
casting the ArrayObject to an array, which is silly. This should be
fixed in 5.3, IMO.
I discussed this with Johannes a bit, yesterday.
