The OOP interface for PHP array.

The class realize almost all php functions.

Basic principles of work:

• All php functions with array_ prefix are now class methods without the prefix in camel case(array_change_key_case -> ArrayObject::changeKeyCase());
• Class methods do not require array type arg in most cases;
• All methods that accepted array args now accepts array|ArrayObject;
• All methods that had to return array now returns ArrayObject;

Exceptions and differences with php api:

Not realized functions:

• compact;
• extract;
• list;

Functions with changed API:

• ArrayObject::combine() - static method;
• array_fill & array_fill_keys are merged into static ArrayObject::fill() where second argument defines behavior;
• ArrayObject::range() - static method;
• All array_diff* functions merged into ArrayObject::diff() where userfunc always gets 4 args(key1, val1, key2, val2);
• ArrayObject::filter() always pass 2 args into userfunc: key and val;
• All array_​intersect* functions merged into ArrayObject::intersect() where userfunc always gets 4 args(key1, val1, key2, val2);
• array_​key_​first realized as ArrayObject::firstKey();
• array_​key_​last realized as ArrayObject::lastKey();
• All array_​merge* functions merged into ArrayObject::merge() method;
• ArrayObject::multisort() saves sorted arrays only in passed ArrayObject values. All array-type args will used in sorting as usual but wouldn't updated.
• array_​rand realized as ArrayObject::randKeys();
• array_replace & array_​replace_​recursive are merged into static ArrayObject::replace() where last optional argument true means recursion;
• All array sort functions merged into ArrayObject::sort() with 3 new flags that can be combined with default flags(bitwise OR);
• array_walk & array_walk_​recursive are merged into static ArrayObject::walk() where last optional argument true means recursion;

New features:

• ArrayObject::recursive() - recursively convert all sub-array in ArrayObject;
• ArrayObject::items() - returns original array;
• ArrayObject::append() - append one or more elements onto the end of array. Like push but returns self;
• ArrayObject::prepend() - Prepend one or more elements to the beginning of an array. Like unshift but returns self;
• ArrayObject::rand() - returns associated array with one or more random items of an array;
• ArrayObject::first() - returns first value of the array;
• ArrayObject::last() - returns last value of the array;
• ArrayObject::eq() - checks if the object equal to $other array;
• ArrayObject::touch() - returns the value at specified offset or init it with $default value;
• ArrayObject::generator() - generates new array by user generator;
