It occurred to me, while reading different parts of this thread, that if
the named parameter feature makes it in to PHP 6.0, there's a solution
for both sides of the parameter order argument.
1) yes, would be really nice to clean up the param order for two main
reasons: a) constant manual checking b) people whine about param order,
incessantly
2) yes, changing this order would break many years of code
Named parameters, no matter what the syntax, as long as it is
implemented throughout PHP's function-space, will solve this cleanly:
strpos(needle: $foo, haystack: $bar)
strpos(needle: $bar, haystack: $foo)
This /is/ going to be a headache to implement and document, though.
