note 46547 added to language.types.array

It might be worth noting that Maxim Maletsky's comment from 2002 is no longer valid for newer PHP versions (at least 4.3.4 and 5.0.1): the following code: $test[-10] = "-10"; $test[-11] = "-11"; $test[] = "i'm expecting a key value of-9"; var_dump($test); in fact, prints: array(3) { [-10]=> string(3) "-10" [-11]=> string(3) "-11" [0]=> string(22) "i'm expecting a key value of -9" } I.e. while negative integers are valid as indices, they don't affect the internal counter for addition of new items, which appears to only be affected by positive integer key values.
