I thinks the user space implementation
function array_seek($array, $pos)
{
$a = array_values($array);
return $a[$pos];
}
is simple enough to not add a native function for this.
It might not be the most efficient way to do it but I doubt that it is
something done frequently enough to justify another native function.
My 2 cents,
