Description:
------------
The keys of arrays should be accessible by reference into walking functions. See the scripts below:

Test script:
---------------
$array = array(
        'COL1' => 'VALue1',
        'COL2' => '2',
        'COL4' => 'valUE3'
);
var_dump($array);

$walk = array_walk($array, function (&$value, &$key) {
        $key = strtolower($key);
        $value = strtolower($value);
});
var_dump($walk, $array);

Expected result:
----------------
array
  'COL1' => string 'VALue1' (length=6)
  'COL2' => string '2' (length=1)
  'COL4' => string 'valUE3' (length=6)

boolean true

array
  'col1' => string 'value1' (length=6)
  'col2' => string '2' (length=1)
  'col4' => string 'value3' (length=6)


Actual result:
--------------
array
  'COL1' => string 'VALue1' (length=6)
  'COL2' => string '2' (length=1)
  'COL4' => string 'valUE3' (length=6)

boolean true

array
  'COL1' => string 'value1' (length=6)
  'COL2' => string '2' (length=1)
  'COL4' => string 'value3' (length=6)

Array keys are not proper PHP values, so this is not possible.

There is no reasonable way to handle a callback function that did:

function (&$value, &$key) {
        $key = function () {};
        //or $key = array();
}
