Bug description:  array_multisort doesn't mantain index associations with numeric 
arrays

Description:
------------
The manual says that array_multisort mantains key associations. This is
only true if the keys are strings. If the keys are integers on the other
hand, key association is not mantained. I don't think that this is a bug
since it's so obvious. But I wish feedback on this to clear this issue up.
Thanks alot!

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?

//names array. keys are user id's

$names[5]  = 'Peter';

$names[7]  = 'Jim';

$names[11] = 'Martin';

$names[33] = 'John';

$names[34] = 'Robert';



//age array. keys are user id's

$age[5]    = 15;

$age[7]    = 19;

$age[11]   = 54;

$age[33]   = 29;

$age[34]   = 17;



//sort names array by ages

array_multisort($age, $names);



var_dump($names);

?>

Expected result:
----------------
I expect this:



// _should_ return

//

// array

//   5  => 'Peter'

//   34 => 'Robert'

//   7  => 'Jim'

//   33 => 'John'

//   11 => 'Martin'

Actual result:
--------------
// returns the following for me

//

// array

//   0 => 'Peter'       

//   1 => 'Robert'

//   2 => 'Jim'   

//   3 => 'John'   

//   4 => 'Martin'
