note 86443 added to function.array-multisort

I would like to report a kind of confusion that arose with the message Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the declaration of array_multisort(). If you would like to enable call-time pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true in your INI file... from a line like this: array_multisort (&$keyarr, &$arr );// sort against this keys This message is not easily switched off by changing the error reporting level because it's produced at parsinig time -- not execution time. I think this message is misleading because the arguments are passed by reference ANYWAY in array_multisort. Anybody encountering this message should know that nothing has to be done, except deleting the ampersands (&). I was tricked by this message because of couse I wanted to have the *sorted* array back. And couldn't find the ini file nor the declaration of array_multisort. I think in this description of array_multisort the call by reference should be listed in the definition.
