Using the splat operator (...) to copy an array

[AlexandruGG]

Hello!

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Copying an array using the ... operator is different from copying via assignment because the array pointer is maintained in the second case. It would be great if there would be a mutator which switches one for the other.

Describe the solution you'd like

$array = [1, 2, 3];
$array2 = [...$array]; // -> this could be mutated to $array2 = $array;

Additional context
See example here, I hope this clarifies what I mean: https://3v4l.org/gfW5D#v8.0.8

I noticed there is already a Spread Mutator so I thought this could be something similar to that one, let me know if this makes sense.

I'm going to try get familiar with the codebase and give it a shot 😄
