Req #54739 [NEW]: array_filter: optional parameter for max_items

From: Operating system: PHP version: 5.3.6 Package: Arrays related Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:array_filter: optional parameter for max_items Description: ------------ Per this discussion on StackOverflow, I would like to recommend an additional, optional parameter be supported in array_filter. The parameter, named max_items (or similar) would be expected as an integer value >0, and used to return a max of n matching items in the search array. This is useful in the case where sort order is non-deterministic and the number of desired items is low relative to the length of the search array.
