Hi internals,
I’ve proposed a small RFC to add |*is_assoc_array(array $array):*
bool| to the PHP core.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/is_assoc_array
The function detects associative arrays using internal storage
*(|HT_IS_PACKED|)*.
Similar helpers exist in frameworks, and a native version would be
faster and more consistent.
No BC breaks. No impact on SAPIs or OPcache.
Feedback welcome.
Thanks,

What's the difference between the negation of array_is_list() and
is_assoc_array()?
