Description:
------------
A new interface "Sortable" and implementation of it on ArrayObject and ArrayIterator.

I could only get 5.6.3 to compile on my setup, so I hope someone can "port" it to 5.6. I've also made some unit tests for the new feature.

I'm not sure if my implementation is "the best solution" (tm), but I hope that I've at least done some footwork.

Test script:
---------------
$o = new ArrayObject(array(3,2,1));

var_dump($o);
sort($o);
var_dump($o);


Expected result:
----------------
object(ArrayObject)#1 (1) {
  ["storage":"ArrayObject":private]=>
  array(3) {
    [0]=>
    int(3)
    [1]=>
    int(2)
    [2]=>
    int(1)
  }
}
object(ArrayObject)#1 (1) {
  ["storage":"ArrayObject":private]=>
  array(3) {
    [0]=>
    int(1)
    [1]=>
    int(2)
    [2]=>
    int(3)
  }
}

Actual result:
--------------
class ArrayObject#1 (1) {
  private $storage =>
  array(3) {
    [0] =>
    int(3)
    [1] =>
    int(2)
    [2] =>
    int(1)
  }
}

Warning: sort() expects parameter 1 to be array, object given in /Users/thomas/develop/php-src/mytest.php on line 6

Thanks. These features combined could be quite powerful I think, if I've understood Comparable correctly.


Btw, should I create a PR on github instead of uploading a patch here?

Go ahead and make the PR so that there's a place online people can see the diff and comment on it, but you should also bring it up on the internals list for discussion. Perhaps even replying to the Comparable thread, if you can, since they're complementary subjects.

Thanks. I think I'll implement this against the master branch before creating a PR, though. And perhaps attempt to create and RFC.

As has been pointed out in the pull request, this feature requires
an RFC.  If you, or anybody is still interested in a Sortable
interface, please start the RFC process[1].  For the time being,
I'm suspending this ticket.
