Description:
------------
Description of the "value" parameter is misleading:

   Either an string or an array of values

implying (or badly open to misinterpretation) that the "values" would be applied to the output array, one "value" per element, as is array_combine().  The truth is an array for the 2nd parameter would be used as any other type would be: cloned for every value in the output array.  That should be explicit, e.g.:

   Assigned to each and every element of the output array

Reproduce code:
---------------
array(1=>array(11,22), 2=>array(11,22))
==
array_fill_keys(array(1,2), array(11,22))

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

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

Changed to "Value to use for filling" to match array_fill()'s value description.
