Hi,

it looks like the fact that ArrayAccess::offsetGet is not returning a
reference is a recurrent problem, I see basically 4 options:

a) Ignore the issue, change nothing

b) Rewrite offsetGet to return a ref, breaking BC

c) Create a new ArrayAccess interface where it does return a ref

d) Relax prototype checks so that both are allowed.

Personally, I believe that a fatal on such prototypes error is not
warranted, so I'd prefer (d).

What do you think would be the best option? Can you think of another?

Best,
