I wrote in a different response to the original email:=0A=
=0A=
> Working to have a vote on https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/4886 might =
be a good first step, and something I was personally interested in seeing i=
n 8.0-dev.=0A=
=0A=
I thought I mentioned that there was a PR that implemented is_list() in ano=
ther email in that thread, but it turns out I was mistaken - I just mention=
ed the URL. Sorry.=0A=
=0A=
That PR "Add is_list function" (https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/4886) c=
opies the is_list implementation that the JSON extension uses internally fo=
r efficient serialization of lists.=0A=
=0A=
I'm glad to see the interest in support for is_list(), list types, or worki=
ng on potential implementations.=0A=
=0A=
Thanks,=0A=
