I am writing regarding bug 80248.
Currently, PHP 8 allows parameter reuse at different position, which I
belive is very dangerous, as passed parameters may be passed in a
different order with different object impl.
Hi Michael,
Yes, this was one of the most discussed aspects of named parameters.
There were a few proposals for how it should work, but in the end none
of them gained consensus, and Nikita decided to keep things simple.
I suggest having a look at the RFC
[https://wiki.php.net/rfc/named_params] and its main discussion thread
[https://externals.io/message/110004] to see the pros and cons of
various alternatives.
Since none of these were adopted in the proposal, it's not clear that
this could be considered a bug, rather than a feature change, so there'd
need to be a very strong justification for re-visiting it this close to
8.0 availability.
Regards,
