The return is pointless. Or is this meant as kind of backwards-compatibilty? IMHO this should be avoided because it's a bit confusing and folks might be lured into doing tyring to assign the array once to often.

function workOnArray(&$a) {
...
}

function &createArray() {
$a = array)();
...
return $a;
}
