We have a version of this at Facebook and its called array_pull() it has =
a third parameter and supports pulling a new key value too. You can find =
a copy of it in Phabricator. There is also mpull() which is for methods. =
I'd recommend combining the two methods to be honest and doing a single =
function that supports index names or a method.
