note 13571 added to function.array.php

I come from a perl background, and in perl there is a way to get only one element from a function that returns an array. example (in perl): $single_var = (myarrayfunc())[0] or $single_var2 = (myarrayfunc())[3] etc... Is there something like this in PHP? Thanks. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array.php
