Re: [PHP-DEV] Re: Named arguments revisited

[Andi Gutmans]

In my opinion, as Ilia stated passing an associative array does the 
job quite well for the use-case where named arguments would be useful.
Sure it might be a tad-bit sexier that you don't have to write 
array() but the truth is that the implementation would probably still 
use an array. Unlike Ada which has extremely strict typing, in PHP in 
most cases we wouldn't be able to optimize away the named parameters, 
meaning that we'd probably do the array() trick anyway.
