The return value for an empty array is indistinguishable from
the return value in case of an array which has a <type>bool</type> &false;
first element. To properly check the value of the first element of an array
which may contain &false; elements, first check the <function>count</function>
of the array, or check that <function>key</function> is not
&null;, after calling <function>reset</function>.
