Or how about a matching set of array_value_* functions?

Granted, we can currently use reset() and last() for array_value_first() 
and array_value_last(), but that always feels a bit ugly to me. The name 
"reset" is hardly obvious, and the side-effects of "resetting the 
internal array pointer" even less so (e.g. how does it affect 
copy-on-write?).
