Deferencing index of an array returned from function call

Hi internals,
maybe I am late for this for PHP 5 but just want to ask for opinion about dereferencing
indexes of arrays returned by functions. In PHP 5 is possible to dereference member
variables of an objects like :
someFunc()->someMember;
but this :
$b = someFunction()['someIndex'];
is not possible

This is a well known feature request but won't be supported in PHP 5.0.
I can't tell you if it'll ever be supported. It requires some research and
a lot of thought.
