Using iterators there might make sense, but two things to consider: - prev() doesn't map to Iterator, so we might leave it out - Doing that is a (silent) change in behavior, not going to the property's hashtable but the iterator interface, not sure if it hurts anybody, though .. language-wise I guess it makes more sense to allow iterators > > . array_key_exists > > Here it may make some sense, though I guess it should maybe go through > more specific handlers (i.e. has_dimension or has_property?).

I don't think we should pick a single function to do iterator stuff, especially as there's iterator_apply() doing the same thing for some time. > > . uksort > > . uasort > > . usort > > . natcasesort > > . natsort > > These frankly make little sense with objects and also other sorts do not > support object, so I'd say this is just a bug that they allow objects at > all.
