As a clarification, the current implementation of the PR affects arrays in general, not only array_fill. Any array that starts with a negative index would continue from that index instead of 0. Meaning that [-2 => true, true, true] would now return [-2 => true, -1 => true, 0 => true] instead of [-2 => true, 0 => true, 1 => true]. Regards, Pedro
