Description:
------------
The mysql API functions mysql_row_tell and mysql_row_seek are not ported to the mysqli libary.
I believe this is a shame, because currently it isn't possible to create a function which uses a mysql_result but does not influence the code outside of the function.

I do not see the fact that, mysqli_row_seek would return a resource and not an actual rownumber, as a problem.

P.S. If it is generaly agreed that this is a usefull feature, but there are no volenteers to add the function, I volenteer myself.

Reproduce code:
---------------
I would like to do the following:

function get_all_rows(mysqli_result $result)
{
   $ptr = $result->row_tell();
   $rows = array();
   while ($row = $result->fetch_row()) $rows[] = $row;
   $result->row_seek($ptr);
   return $rows;
}

I mean:

function get_all_rows(mysqli_result $result)
{
   $ptr = $result->row_tell();
   $rows = array();
   $result->data_seek(0);
   while ($row = $result->fetch_row()) $rows[] = $row;
   $result->row_seek($ptr);
   return $rows;
}

That's for buffered results only. I don't see a big win considering the iterator support added rather recently (but not properly documented).

Johannes, what's your take?

From a "features complete" standpoint, I do not see why not add it, as it can achieve some flexibility that a developer might need over the iterator and vice versa.

For seeking one has to buffer. Buffering in an array is most efficient as we can make use of PHP's copy-on-write. Thus using fetch_all and then using the array is the best.
