Regardless of how internals works, it's a thing in userland PHP.
function foo($bar = null)
{
echo "number of args is: ".func_num_args(). "\n";
}
foo();
foo(null);
// Output is:
// number of args is: 0
// number of args is: 1
It's a useful thing to do when you want to distinguish between null
being passed, and the default value being used. Just like in this
case. The same is possible for internal functions.
