   // url

if (str_ends_with($filename, ".pdf", ".doc", ".docx")) {
   // document
}
if(str_ends_with($str, ...$validExtensions){
   // valid extension

Which leaves me +-0 on this,

I agree that the examples are not particularly well-chosen, because the 
correct implementation for the two examples would be:


    if (\in_array(\pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION), ['pdf', 
'doc', 'docx'], true)) { }

and

    if (\in_array(\Uri\Rfc3986\Uri::parse($url)?->getScheme(), ['http', 
'https'], true)) { }

and then leaving it up to the code developers / the engien to possibly 
optimize `\in_array()` into `match()` or similar when only a small 
number of values need to be matched.
