Hello community,

This is my first post here. I hope to improve my participation in the
community and give back to the technology that has done so much for my
career.  My first attempt is to propose an additional syntax for the
Foreach statement.

Background:

There are times in our code where we can leave things blank that we don't
need, such as:

for ( ; ; ) {

}

- and -

list( , $foo, $bar) = array('ignore', 'myFoo', 'myBar');

Proposal:

I have found over the years that there are times when I want to loop
through an associative array but I don't need the value. I would like to
allow the following syntax:

foreach ($array as $key => ) {

}

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks
Chris London
