When I get this right it would fail. As far as I see this is equivalent to
foreach ($array as $level1) {
foreach ($level1 as $level2) {
foreach ($level2 as $level3) {
// ..
}
}
}
So I'd say they should behave the same.
I for myself find this proposal at least interesting. I don't know how many
foreach-chains I see every day :(
