I think this would be an easier/quicker fix for you then requesting that
the PHP developers re-write a large portion of the way PHP currently works.
<?php
function i($arr, $i) {
return $arr[$i];
}
echo i(getUserInformation($id), 'naam');
#or
echo i($object->fetchObjects(), 0)->method();
?>

Hello
I've an idea for PHP6. Let's kickoff with an example.
<?php
$info = getUserInformation($id); //return an array with all the information
of an user.
echo $info['naam'];
?>
This is nice, but when I want one element of the returned array, I have to
store the returned array into a variable and then call the variable.
The next code example is my idea.
<?php
echo getUserInformation($id)['naam'];
?>
Let's look further then this small example.
<?php
echo $object->fetchObjects()[0]->method();
?>
This example is more realistic when you use OO. This code style is faster
for developing applications. This code style is available in Java,
Javascript, C, C++, Perl, Python, ... So why not in PHP(6)? You can read
more on my blog.

I hope for good response and also response from php-dev team.
