I can't understand what you mean by "Different means of identifying position in the array"? If you mean a way to access an array's element by its position in the array then yes, we already have that. It's called array_slice() seehttp://php.net/array-slice which allows you to access elements in the array by their offset and that includes using a negative offset. The key and the offset are two completely different things.
Never had to use it ;) But then there is a heck of a lot of stuff I've never even looked at. But it does blow this thread - when referring to collection arrays - out of the water? The problem I see is people trying to apply 'string' rules in the wrong way ... and I find that string handling works fine for me as it currently works but we probably just need to STOP people trying to apply the same rules to something that is totally different? And I though that 'string' -ve indexes had been sorted?
