Bug 63744 - references in list()

Hi all, I stumbled upon this bug report (read: feature request) today and took a swing at it thinking it couldn't be that overly complex. But then again it was requested way back in the PHP4 era, so I figured there has to be some reason why it hasn't been done before. Be it complex in cases I'm not thinking of, or, has been deemed something the language doesn't want to support. I was able to, pretty quickly, get a bunch of test cases seemingly working. Both list-assign from an array container, and that of an object implementing arrayaccess. I'd imagine a change of this kind would probably warrant an RFC, but before writing it out, and fleshing out the change I just wanted to check if there were any reasons behind it not being done. -- Dave
