But there is no function to do this in php. I relize it's 
trivial, but it would still be very use in many applications.

You can use the function from your example instead.
Adding more basic functions to the core doesn't make any sense.

Description:
------------
It would be very nice to have an array_remove (or some other 
name) function to do what the code below illustrates.

The point of the function is to allow use to retrieve the 
value of a particular key in an array, and remove it from the 
array at the same time. Think of it as array_shift(), but with 
the ability to define the key that gets shifted.

Reproduce code:
---------------
function array_remove ($key, &$array) {
        if (! isset ($array[$key])) return false;

        $return = $array[$key];
        unset ($array[$key]);
        
        return $return;         
}

$array = array ('food' => 'taco', 'drink' => 'juice');

$value = array_remove ('food', $array);

print_r ($array);
print $value;

Expected result:
----------------
FROM print_r:
----
array (
  'drink' => 'juice
)
----

FROM print:
----
taco
----
