Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Replying to [comment:47 jrf]:
 > As for the changes from `array()` to `compact()`: '''this is a BC-break
 which should be reverted'''.
 > You are changing the array which is passed to the filters from a
 numerically indexed array to an associative array and any code which is
 hooked into those filters which was approaching the array using numeric
 indexes will now be broken.

 Thanks for reviewing the changes and noting this!

 I will address the first suggestion shortly.

 For second one, however, unless I'm missing something, [52974] did **not**
 replace `array()` with `compact()`, but only relocated the `compact()`
 call while removing the redundant `array()` at the same time. All of these
 arrays were associative before the change, not numerically indexed.

 As far as I can tell, there is no functional difference between this:
 {{{
 $array = compact( array( 'a', 'b' ) );
 }}}
 and this:
 {{{
 $array = compact( 'a', 'b' );
 }}}
 https://3v4l.org/5WRUs seems to confirm that.
