in_array() currently returns only true/false on whether or not a searched-for value is in a given array.

I would like it to return the key of the array's element when value was found, and false otherwise. This should not break existing code using in_array().

maybe a fourth parameter switch to avoid 0->false problems?

Andrei and I descussed the possibility of creating a new function. I will explore this.
