  // %        note 1: Uses global: php_js to store the array pointer
  // *     example 1: each({a: "apple", b: "balloon"});
  // *     returns 1: {0: "a", 1: "apple", key: "a", value: "apple"}
  //  Will return a 4-item object unless a class property 'returnArrayOnly'
  //  is set to true on this function if want to only receive a two-item
  //  numerically-indexed array (for the sake of array destructuring in
  //  JavaScript 1.7+ (similar to list() in PHP, but as PHP does it automatically
  //  in that context and JavaScript cannot, we needed something to allow that option)
