For international user this makes more sense because the "'" or the '"' are
sensitive keys that needs two interactions instead of just one...
so for typing something like $_POST['asasdasd']['asdasd']['asdasd'] is
sometimes a bit annoying but it could be solved having 2 keyboard layouts
(my case)

As I said before, this is not something that is going to change the php
direction, however many developer would get very happy.
I have never seen this in other languages but my knowledge is not very
expressive as well.
