Description:
------------
As explained on http://ca.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php :

Warning

Reference of a $value and the last array element remain even after the foreach 
loop. It is recommended to destroy it by unset().


In my opinion, PHP shouldn't keep the last element referenced by default, but 
at least, please provide a syntax which will not keep it. The current situation 
causes bugs like:
