Re: call_builtin_function_array() possible?

Well, this would be probably completely useless (at least I can't think of a meaningful use of this right now), but... is there a reason this can't be implemented in PHP? I know, time is a very precious commodity, and I wouldn't ask (or suggest) for an implementation of this if it would require extra work besides making pre- and post- increment / decrement in one statement. But if allowing ++$i++ (which I definitely consider useful) makes ++$i-- possible without additional effort, why disable it? It's possible to write completely useless junk software without this feature too. Lack of knowledge of C prevents me from going to try and do this myself.
