Given that you can accomplish this with a PECL extension, my answer is "No,
it doesn't."
And still seems to be the best way even to 'investigate' this? I still have not had any explanation of what is wrong with ArrayObject? Certainly any changes need to be mirrored identically in that anyway?
Also perhaps I am just too set in my ways, but while I understand the needle/haystack complaint, I don't see a major problem that needs everything changing. Perhaps add the odd alternative as that would be the only BC fix anyway?
Most of the people who complain about these things are not going to change TO PHP anyway so why keep messing things up for those of us who's livelihood depends on productivity in PHP!
