It was amazing that this thread has close to 90 mails.

I've added some use cases of array_udelete() to wiki, since
some people fails to see how it could be useful. I also bring
back to array_walk() version of equivalent example. I just
don't see any reason why we should replace it with slower
foreach() version.

I think the RFC page is almost complete.

Any more comments?
