Description:
------------
hi, what about an interface like this?

interface ReadOnlyArrayAccess
{
abstract public boolean offsetExists ( mixed $offset )
abstract public mixed offsetGet ( mixed $offset )
}

interface ArrayAccess extends ReadOnlyArrayAccess
{
abstract public void offsetSet ( mixed $offset , mixed $value )
abstract public void offsetUnset ( mixed $offset )
}

it is easier to implement when objects must be immutable

thank you

I completely disagree.  Further, ArrayAccess would not 'extend' 
ReadOnlyArrayAccess.  I would simply implement offsetSet and offsetUnset to do 
nothing then raise a warning or throw an exception (I'd throw the exception, 
myself).

Apparently, this feature request is controversial, and as such
would require discussion on the internals@ mailing list, at least,
and maybe the RFC process[1]. For the time being, I'm suspending
this ticket.
