Hi Stas:

To me, this is the bug. $a['blah'] does not exist. An undefined index
notice should be raised. The key "blah" should not be converted to 0.
The following two things should behave the same:
$b = array('exists' => 'foo');
echo $b['blah'] . "\n";
$a = 'foo';
echo $a['blah'] . "\n";
But that second one echos out "f". This is a huge WTF.
Thanks,
