I'm in favor of these functions.

Right now I am doing:

$firstItem =3D current($array)
$secondItem =3D next($array)

Which is simple and works, but really it's just by design that the code
hasn't shifted the array pointer yet and I can cheat with current()

If the pointer was shifted then I'd have to do reset(), which isn't good.

array_first() for the win

Many thanks,
Paul
