Hi Pierre, I will go ahead and enter a Bug report for this in a bit ('cause there's definitely a bug), just so it's in the official place (preferred, I guess?) and doesn't keep going here on the list. :-)

Please don't. I have no more ways or words to explain you what needs to be done.... Please ask me if you still don't get it.

While I agree the change should be carefully reviewed, I must wonder why the millions upon millions of lines of code in 4.x are going to be ignored here... What rationale is there for breaking the BC? Obviously you think it should be broken -- I just don't understand

why... I did not say it should be broken. All I said (and confirmed by Andrei) is that we should first sit down and figure out what, how and when we can/should change something. It seems to me as the sanest attitude given the insane amount of senseless changes. There is no need to push a patch just to bring another entry to this changelog. As I already suggested, we can work together on a proposal and bring it to a conclusion.

Just to be sure, you are just talking about the array_count_values() function and not the is_numeric... stuff?

No, I'm talking about __all__ cases :-). This function or the array keys in general is only one issue, there is some more. Which part of "We need to sit down and come up with a proposal?" did you not understand? seriously? --Pierre
