The mess does not exist because we have array_key() instead of
array->key(). There's nothing wrong with having array_key(). The mess
exists because functions do not form single API with single principle
behind it, but were added in ad-hoc manner, sometimes without
correlating them with others. So, if you want to clean it up, you'd want
to write a plan how new API would look like and how it will be better
than old one. If the solution is "let's use ->" then it's not worth it.
The solution that's worth it is "let's have this better API" and that's
where we should start, not with changing array_key() to array->key() and
saying "now we have clean sexy API".
