    <para>
     <function>array_flip</function> returns an <type>array</type> in flip
     order, i.e. keys from <parameter>trans</parameter> become values and values
     from <parameter>trans</parameter> become keys.
    </para>
    <para>
     Note that the values of <parameter>trans</parameter> need to be valid
     keys, i.e. they need to be either <type>integer</type> or
     <type>string</type>. A warning will be emitted if a value has the wrong
     type, and the key/value pair in question <emphasis>will not be
     flipped</emphasis>.
    </para>
    <para>
     If a value has several occurrences, the latest key will be
     used as its values, and all others will be lost.
    </para>
    <para>
     <function>array_flip</function> returns &false;
     if it fails.
