That's correct. I suggest you use a letter or an underscore in front of your keys so they are considered as strings. This "feature" of array_merge() really sucks IMO, it just forces you to create your own array_merge alias, which is really slow, PHP apparently not being able to differentiate a string from an int when it comes to array keys.
