From manual page:  
https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php#language.types.array.casting

"with a few notable exceptions: integer properties are unaccessible"  

This is fortunately untrue since PHP 7.2:  

https://wiki.php.net/rfc/convert_numeric_keys_in_object_array_casts  

The reverse direction (array to object casts) are already documented:  
https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.object.php#language.types.object.casting

"Note that in this case before PHP 7.2.0 numeric keys have been inaccessible unless iterated."
