I thought I mentioned that there was a PR that implemented is_list() in another email in that
thread, but it turns out I was mistaken - I just mentioned the URL. Sorry.
That PR "Add is_list function" (https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/4886) copies the
is_list implementation that the JSON extension uses internally for efficient serialization of lists.
I'm glad to see the interest in support for is_list(), list types, or working on potential
implementations.
Thanks,
