Shouldn't it take a HashTable instead of a zval?

Exported functions receive arrays as a zval. That's why I preferred to create a new function instead of just exposing htIsPacked: it's a bit more flexible and allow a quick check without having to do manual casts

Ah yes, let's wait for it to be merged before going forward with this one then 🙂

Because the API is different depending on if you deal with hash maps or lists, it would be nice to expose a method that returns whether the hashtable is packed.
My use case: I'm getting back to callable support and while writing a custom
array_map(), I want to keep indexes if it's not a list. I have to check whether the provided hash table is packed or not.
