Description:
------------
The vartype of the 123 key changed after serialization, it should be consistent.


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
    
    $data = array(
        '123' => 'zahl',
        'Foo' => 'bar',
    );
    
    var_dump( $data );
    var_dump( wddx_deserialize( wddx_serialize_value( $data ) ) );
    
    highlight_file( __FILE__ );
?>



Expected result:
----------------
array(2) {
  ["123"]=>
  string(4) "zahl"
  ["Foo"]=>
  string(3) "bar"
}
array(2) {
  ["123"]=>
  string(4) "zahl"
  ["Foo"]=>
  string(3) "bar"
}


Actual result:
--------------
array(2) {
  [123]=>
  string(4) "zahl"
  ["Foo"]=>
  string(3) "bar"
}
array(2) {
  ["123"]=>
  string(4) "zahl"
  ["Foo"]=>
  string(3) "bar"
}

Actually it's not WDDX issue, but general issue with numeric array index not staying as string but getting silently changed to integer:

<?php

        $a = array ('123' => 'abc', 'abc' => '123');

        var_dump($a);
?>

Outputs:

array(2) {
  [123]=>
  string(3) "abc"
  ["abc"]=>
  string(3) "123"
}

Although this is pretty old issue, Dmitry, can you check?

Nevermind that, we have it documented as expected behaviour. 
WDDX should really be consistent with how PHP handles this..

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
