Yes, it's pretty decent for all these uses. It's an order-preserving hash table with special case optimizations for use as a numeric/dense array.
PHP's docs claim that its array is optimized for use as "array, vector hash table, dictionary, collection, stack, queue, and probably more". Is this actually true (The optimized bit)? Or is it still just a pretty ok hash map implementation (also how does dict diff from hash?)

Do you have a reference for the optimizations that they do for dense arrays I can look at?
