Does the loose interpretation of an array also play into this??

[=E2=80=9Cstring=E2=80=9D =3D> true, 10 =3D> false]

Another new-to-internals questions, does the check only look at if the =
keys contain one that is a string, that they=E2=80=99re all integers =
(not float), that they=E2=80=99re all sequential??

Cheers,
