Yup, Simon J. pointed that out too so usage of `_` was already a discarded topic. The top topic now is a possible consistency with the syntax already allowed when using list. Ex: list($bar, , $baz) = ['good', 'trash', 'nice']; Andrea, > …that probably made no sense. But I think there’s a case to be made that since list() follows this syntax, we should for function calls to. But I get it, it would also prevent language syntax from growing just to have a trivial feature. Apart from the debate about meaning of the assignment using a blank identifier, it would be beneficial to use the same syntax even though situations are distinct. I guess only Stas can decide to give up on `default` and use a blank identifier. Anyway, hope this decision don't affect the voting negatively, feature is cool. 2015-01-18 0:32 GMT-03:00 Rasmus Lerdorf <ras...@lerdorf.com>: > On Jan 17, 2015, at 17:52, Marcio Almada <marcio.w...@gmail.com> wrote: > > >> Cryptic notation is not a PHP way.
