I don't think I'm getting all the mail I am supposed to. I hope this gets seen.
I propose 2 functions *only* which I believe covers the use-cases that
all 4 of these do and more, with shorter names, and the ability to
discern whether the call succeeded or not.
list($key, $value) = array_first($input);
// $key will be null if the call failed
list($key, $value) = array_last($input);
// $key will be null if the call failed
I have tested it with user-land functions and seems to work as
intended in all success and failure conditions. Verification that it
works as intended with internal functions is necessary but this seems
a much better proposal to me.
