My opinion on the matter at this point is such that I care more about providing an API of sorts to support both kinds of structures, so that any developer can write an extension that can leverage this capability and make this available in user-land. Having array_some() and array_every() support this doesn't have to be documented for all I care, if anything it serves as an example of what can be done. The most immediate feedback I would like is: a) whether it's useful to add as an API, b) a review of the code in `php_traversal.[ch]` > > -- > Regards, > Mike > > -- > PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > >
