Description

It would be great to add some complexity information for some function, especially the array_* ones. Most of them are pretty trivial but having them documented somewhere would makes us more aware of what are the cost of using a given function. We could have the space and time complexity.

If you think this is something we can do I would gladly participate.

Thanks in advance
