Subject: Request #67949 DOMNodeList should implement ArrayAccess

Hi list,

The request is so that we can do this:

$html = <<<HTML
<div>data</div>
HTML;
$doc = new DOMDocument;
$doc->loadHTML($html);
var_dump($doc->getElementsByTagName('div')[0]->textContent);

I started implementing this on my branch (
https://github.com/Ralt/php-src/tree/issue-67949), but then I was
thinking... ::offsetSet and ::offsetUnset don't really make sense in this
context.

From what I understand, SimpleXML does some magic to make it work without
implementing ArrayAccess.

I think it's cleaner to use ArrayAccess and to throw errors on ::offsetSet
and ::offsetUnset, but I'd like internals' opinion on this.

Regards,

*Florian Margaine*
