Re: [PHP-I18N] Intl ResourceBundle Class: No Fallback When Using Iteration

Sorry about the double message. I was using Nabble and it didn't seem to
post correctly. Values are null when iterating in the sense that if you hav=
e
an empty bundle, there is no fallback.

As I said this isn't immediately necessary for my project, but the expected
behavior would seem to be that iteration should work over all contents,
including fallbacks. I understand why that might be difficult to implement,
however. At very least a note should be added explaining that iteration wil=
l
not work with fallback. I'm afraid I will have developers trying to do that
if they just go by the documentation.
