Description:
------------
Am using array_walk/*_recursive to work with reports (seems like):

```
[
 'created' => [],
 'updated' => [],
 // * => []
]
```

When we have large amount of records we should run 10000 callbacks even if statement 

```
static $break = false;
if ($break) return null;
$break = true;
```

was declared

The solution could be

```
class BreakException extends \Exception {}
try {
array_walk_recursive($array, function () {
  throw new BreakException();
});
} catch (Exception $e) {
}
```

Would be great to implement some statement like foreach `break` to avoid building stack trace while using that feature (because of foreach supports only single level traversing)

Thank you.

If few minutes was found solution like that:

```
<?php

$arr = [
  0 => [1,2,3],
  1 => [4,5,6],
];

$iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveArrayIterator($arr));
var_dump($iterator);

foreach($iterator as $key => $value) {
    echo "$key => $value\n";
    break;
}
```

I think solved if seems nice.

I think it might make sense to cater to the return value of the
callable, but that certainly needs some discussion regarding the
details and whether this should really be done, given that there
are alternative solutions available right now.  However, this bug
tracker is not suitable for these kind of discussions, so if you,
or anybody else for that matter, is interested in this, please
start the discussion on the internals mailing list[1].

Thanks.
