Subject: Feature Request: array declaration 
From: waboring@3gstech.com (walt boring)

Howdy,
  I hope this isn't too late in the game for PHP5, but I thought I'd 
throw out a
request for a feature for array() declaration.   

I'd like to be able to be lazy and declare something like

$foo = array('A' <=> 'Admin', 'C' <=> 'Customer');

which is really just a shortcut way to declare

$foo = array('A' => 'Admin', 'Admin' => 'A',
                      'C' => 'Customer', 'Customer' => 'C');

Dunno if anyone else would find this usefull, but it'd be nice to have 
as a quick way to
declare a simple lookup array.
