Very cool.
How about supporting .. syntax, btw. as in [1..3] or ["a".."z"]? Might no be the worth, just thinking out loud ;)
I'm also in favor of a shorter notation for array() and list().
In fact this also helps to ease the problem I have
with 'foreach ($A as $I=>$d)', because it would
then be possible to write: while ([$i,$d]=each($A)).
Do you know that while(list(..,..) = each($ar)) is kinda "deprecated". You should consider using foreach() which is clearer and the fastest way to traverse an array. while() + each() + list() is the old way (evermore, you have not to forget to reset() your array before the traversal - foreach() does not need this step).

It's still not as short as I'd like it to be: 'while ($i=>$d in $A)', but it's already a lot better.
I'd also like to see ranges supported and propose
to add notations for inclusive and non-inclusive
ranges as:
1..3 inclusive at both ends so equal to 1,2,3
1.<3 non inclusive at the end so equal to 1,2
1>.3 non inclusive at the beginning so equal to 2,3
1><3 non inclusive at both ends so equal to 2
Use the range() function. PHP is more close to C than to Pascal in my opinion. The language should be simple the standard library should be rich (IMO).
