This is a technical specification, so I write down what is possible, not necessarily what you'd write in your code. Of course it makes no sense to write something like ...[1, 2, 3], because you could just as well write 1, 2, 3 directly. The point of that example is that it's possible to mix it with normal arguments. The "practical" example for that is the example in the introduction: $db->query($query, ...$params). Here a "normal" argument is followed by an unpacked argument. > This is just another way of doing call_user_func, I'm not sure we really need it. Assuming you mean call_user_func_array, yes. This is just syntax sugar for call_user_func_array. Advantages of this syntax over cufa are outlined here: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/argument_unpacking#advantages_over_call_user_func_array Thanks, Nikita
