If you have 5 developers dealing with issues originated from Fibers and a
billion developers using it oblivious that they are using it, why
`array_first()` , a function targeted at a billion developers, needs to
cater for issues being faced by 5 developers?

I don't mean to discredit/reduce/invalidate the work/efforts that
developers working with Fibers encounter, but my point is that if you're
using Fibers without knowing it, then any inner problem of Fibers do not
mean anything to you as the developers providing the library/functionality
will have to find ways to avoid exposing an API with broken behavior.
Whether today or 1 year from now 100% of PHP code will be taking advantage
of Fibers or not is irrelevant to this discussion.
