Hi,

    has anyone played around with those two subjects from php-src/TODO ?

    * Allow foreach ($array as $k => list($a, $b)) syntax for multi
      dimensional arrays.

    * Allow foreach ($array as $k => &$val) syntax. right now we cannot
      traverse an array without copying each element.


    I'm just curious to know if someone has worked on this recently.

    cheers,

        - Markus
