@laruence: Changing the array pointer is a change too. That's why foreach
usually copies the passed array.
So yes, this is a bug, but from a quick glance at the code I can't yet see why
it happens.

the same, although it is *copy* of a array, but still the same zval, PHP using
"write on copy". but the internalPointer's change is not considered as "write"
here.

The point is: the iteration is not started on $this->arr, but it is started on
array returned from method getArr().
Foreach resets internal array pointer of completely different array.

"When foreach first starts executing, the internal array pointer is
automatically
reset to the first element of the array. " that means foreach change the
internal
potinter of an array.
