Description:
------------
An updated array_walk for DOMNodeList objects.

Since these objects can be used in a foreach loop just like ordinary arrays it would be nice and a way to improve performance if it were to be possible to use then with a walker function. On the windows platform at least, array_walk is significantly faster than foreach, especially in situation where the arrays have thousands of elements or more, which I suppose is its intended use.

Just because its iterable does not mean its an array. There are other ways to 
access it than foreach.

"foreach: ... This simply gives an easy way to iterate over arrays. foreach works only on arrays, and will issue an error when you try to use it on a variable with a different data type..." PHP Manual

That doesn't mean it's not a good idea to make it work.

Other ways of iterating through a node list are the usual loops. But as I've clearly stated, they are slow, when array_walk is faster. That's the whole point of my request.

See iterator_apply().
