Hello internals,
Some should be non-controversial, others a bit more.
If such, they might warrant their own dedicated RFC, or be dropped from the

when calling array_key_exists()
The discussion that follows says what is wrong with null (and I agree
with that), but not why bool should be deprecated as well (in fact it
mentions that bool gets cast to int).
It's just that I've more than once found it self-documenting to use a
bool as an array offset because I wanted to partition an array into two
according to a predicate - e.g., $partition[true] contains those
elements that satisfy the predicate. Especially when the question of
which of those two partitions I want is itself a runtime boolean decision.
