Description:
------------
While messing around with next/current/end/prev on large arrays, it became apparent that there is a gaping hole in functionality:

I can't set the current internal pointer of the array to an arbitrary value. :-(

I have to walk through the whole array to the element I want as my 'current'

An array_set_current function which takes an array and integer to set the current internal pointer to the N'th element is pretty important for quickly starting off at the right place in my array.

As the discussion on the related pull request ticket[1] shows,
this feature appears to be somewhat controversial.  As such it
needs to be further discussed, which is beyond the scope of this
bug tracker.  So whoever is interested in having this, should
write mail to the PHP internals mailing list[2].  For the time
being, I'm suspending this ticket.
