I wouldn't use the word "proxied", but yes. In my mind the compiler would
see:
foreach(\array_keys($arr) as $key) {
and quietly transform that into:
foreach ($arr as $key => $_unusedVariableNameThatIsntEvenSpilledToTheScope)
{
Thus not iterating the array twice and creating a temporary array of key
names.
