I really would prefer that is_array *not* return true unless something really is a PHP array datatype. I've had too much grief with psuedo-arrays from SimpleXML and/or SPL or whatever it is that didn't quite implement *everything* an array does, or didn't quite behave the way I expected with regards to various functions. Surely there can be some kind of is_a or instanceof or other operator that would be more appropriate than overloading the built-in is_array function. -- Some people ask for gifts here.
