Bug description: restrict explode's function return type
Description:
------------
This is not a bug report like #38337.
Shouldn't the return type of explode be restricted to an array given valid
inputs (strings)?
This would mean that if an empty string was passed as the delimiter, the
return would be an array containing individual characters.
I doubt this would break any existing code unless people used explode to
check that the delimiter === ''
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$x = explode('', 'abc');
?>
Expected result:
----------------
$x = array('a','b','c')
Actual result:
--------------
$x = false
