Hi!
And I believe you're missing the point. I'm not suggesting it for 5.4, but illustrating that until something like it (or better) exists, the "bug fix" should wait until such a solution exists.
Again, you seem to miss the major point. The bug fix was fixing the result of string operation, which before that was using "string offset" pseudo-type that never really worked properly, since it required special branches throughout the engine and tons of special cases and still produced bugs and segfaults. The fact that $a['foo']['bar'] works is just a side effect of that bug fix - because the result of string offset op is now string, as it always should have been.
