While solving http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=27974,
we've discovered that count() on an overloaded object
(in this case, a variant object representing an OLE
SafeArray) doesn't return a truthful value.
What, if anything, are we going to do about that?
We could add a hook to the C iterator API for count();
it shouldn't have a huge impact on the rest of the engine.

I talked about this with Marcus a few months ago. I think that objects
which implement the necessary interfaces should work as arrays in all
the standard array functions. Marcus had an old patch for this that I
would be happy to help update if people are keen on this idea.

I'm not sure if the Iterators API is the right place (it's an API for
foreach()). I guess it could be in either the Iterators API or the Object
API. What would you expect it to return as far as PPP properties is concerned?
By the way, I was holding off RC2 because of that bug you found. Any news?
Can I roll RC2?
