   <para>
    When using <function>iterator_to_array</function> to copy the values of the AppendIterator 
    into an array, you have to set the optional <parameter>use_key</parameter> argument to 
    &false;. When <parameter>use_key</parameter> is not &false; any keys reoccuring in inner 
    iterators will get overwritten in the returned array. There is no way to preserve the original keys.
