Re: New feature: additional syntax proposal for Foreach

Welcome Chris, As a plain user of PHP, i'd like to advocate not to allow anymore aliasing of ways to do stuff... Your example should just read foreach(array_keys($array) as $key) {} That's the only way to convey the actual intent of working with keys and explicitly leaving out the values ;) But hey, just my 2c...
