Incosistent behaviour is a problem, whether it is a serious problem or a trivial one depends on a situation, however it does not change the fact it is a problem. IMO when a function expects an array it should error out when the argument it recieves is not array, with a possible exception of object's who in ZE1 are nearly identical to arrays. Further more there is already an fairly large number of functions of a similar function that operate in a similar manner. It only makes sense to fix the one or two that do not. Ilia
