I don't like having the never ending growing list of arguments issue,
but I just use
function foo($args = array()) {
# first pass to normalize, check, scrub data
$bar = isset($args['whatever']) ? intval($args['whatever']) : 0;
# second pass to do sanity checking or business logic...
if($bar > 0) {
...
}
}
Looks like Drupal 7 is taking this approach with some things too.
I am not sure the language itself needs anything to change, it can be
done today and seems like an additional feature to shortcut something
already available.
