I agree with Jim. Arrays can contain "things". Things can also be other arrays. You can have an array which contains two other arrays and four integers. I don't think we should add these functions because they are wrong *especially* the is_array_multidimensional(). Of course, if there's a good reason to have them and we're all convinced that the reasons are good we could add them. Can you please roll back that patch and open up a discussion with examples of why this functionality is needed? It might even lead to a different solution.
