Non-numeric string offsets - e.g. $a['foo'] where $a is a string - now return
false on <function>isset</function> and true on <function>empty</function>, and produce warning
if trying to use them. Offsets of types double, bool and null produce notice. Numeric strings ($a['2'])
still work as before. Note that offsets like '12.3' and '5 and a half' are considered non-numeric
and produce warning, but are converted to 12 and 5 respectively for BC reasons.
