Correct; what I'm saying is that we don't need core API support for
zero based array indexing. A hypothetical extension could give 100%
function based support for that so that equivalents to all functions
are given: array_upper, array_lower, etc etc etc. You are correct
that it could not implement alternative syntactical array features.
