Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.array-splice
---

" length

    If length is omitted, removes everything from offset to the end of the array. If length is specified and is positive, then that many elements will be removed. If length is specified and is negative then the end of the removed portion will be that many elements from the end of the array. Tip: to remove everything from offset to the end of the array when replacement is also specified, use count($input) for length."

But what is length = 0?  The documentation does not specify.

If 0 is passed, nothing is removed. Added a patch that makes this explicit.

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.
