Description:
------------
There is a warning box on the documentation for the current()
function.

It talks about the impossibility of differing between the end of the
array and the value zero or "". It is possible to use current() with
these values using the === operator.

The real problem is arrays containing the value false, this isn't
actually mentioned in the warning.

Further the warning suggests using each() instead of current() to get
around these problems, however the two functions aren't really
comparable as each() advances the array cursor.
