The fact that this RFC doesn't even mention PHP's already available native
function (array_is_list() - which performs the inverse) indicates that this
initiative is under-researched.

This is the second email of this type frim you in a short period. Please be
mindful that a lot of people are subscribed to this mailing list.
Suggesting low-value RFCs actually strains human resources and impedes
progress.

If you want to create wrapper functions with names that you personally
prefer, please create your own library and share that with the public.

Please only submit RFCs for discussion after performing loads of research
to ensure that what you want to suggest is actually worth suggesting.
