PDO will only know basic data types (strings, int, possibly bool) and an
int array is not a basic type. It's also designed to be 'database
independent' so this won't be included at all most likely.

If you want it in C, you'll have to put it together yourself but I doubt
it'd ever be included in php core (but you can always try).
