I hate this sloppiness of PHP:

strobel@s114-intel:~> php -a
Interactive shell

php > $a[null] = 'you are Nothing';
php > var_dump($a);
array(1) {
[""]=>
string(15) "you are Nothing"
}
php > $i=null;
php > $a[$i] = 'you are Nothing';
php > var_dump($a);
array(1) {
[""]=>
string(15) "you are Nothing"
}
php > var_dump(key($a));
string(0) ""

There is no difference between an empty string and null in array indexing. That is
stupid. Why does the language not just respect my definitions?
