Hi,
I would like to open the discussion on my proposal to add two small,
focused array functions for retrieving and checking nested array
elements using dot notation.
This is the link to the RFC:

This is the link to the proposed implementation:

Thanks!!

I echo others comments with regards to looking at / comparing to
existing implementations (particularly Laravel, given its popularity),
and escaping.
I would also suggest that the function names should explicitly indicate
they use dot notation to reduce potential confusion over which array
functions accept dot notation and avoid potential conflicts should
similar non-dot-notation equivalents be desired (for these or any future
dot-notation supporting array_ functions)
