Not everyone is interested in doing `$array = new
ArrayWrapper($originalArray)` and then breaking all `array` parameters.
There are a bunch of different packages and people prefer different
packages on top of that. Some packages will have feature X and others will
have feature Y, and that makes it even harder to properly use. The downside
of having this in PHP will obviously be that it's much less flexible than a
userland implementation. I'd be very happy to see it in PHP while I won't
even bother looking for array wrappers in userland.

The pipe operator feels like a poor solution while `->` would do exactly
what people want.
