That's great, thanks for the update. I can now also remove my botched attempt 
from 
GitHub :)

@stoffle: I have an RFC and patch here: 
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/foreach-non-scalar-keys. I'll try to get it into 5.5.

Is there any chance this might make it into 5.5?

Assigning to Etienne as he's working on this.

Agreed, it would be a very nice addition, this is currently a blocking issue 
for 
doing some cool stuff.

I don't get the point why ArrayAccess allowes object as keys (which is very 
nice) but Iterator does not allow it.
I use proxy objects to store instances during serialization and connect them to 
a single object instance during unserialization. Having those proxies as keys 
in arrays would be really nice. SplObjectStorage does not work because multiple 
proxies that are connected to the same underlying object instance will always 
be different keys for SplObjectStorage.

What's about the feature request? Any news?

This would be a nice addition. What technical issues are preventing this 
functionality from being realized?


[2009-12-16 02:29:33] tejas dot net+php at gmail dot com

Agreed. Its cool that 5.3 has the ArrayAccess interface, but key() not 
being able to return objects really gets in the way.
