I have decided to go with that because 1- I'm a fan of using Exceptions (mostly) for exceptional error conditions; between these two public seekKey($key):void throws WhateverException; public seekKey($key):bool; I (by far) prefer the latter.
2- I think it would require a new type of SPL Exception, because none of the existing makes sense to use here, in my opinion. 2016-11-22 21:43 GMT+01:00 Nikita Popov <nikita....@gmail.com>: > On Tue, Nov 22, 2016 at 6:47 PM, Wes <netmo....@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Greetings again PHPeople, >> >> I wanted to avoid the discussion for the small improvements I was >> proposing >> thinking it would be acceptable to do so ( >> http://news.php.net/php.internals/97118) but apparently I was wrong >> (sorry >> for that), so here's the discussion thread! >> >> https://wiki.php.net/rfc/arrayiterator-improvements >> >> Again this is my first RFC, and I hope I'm doing nothing wrong this time >> :P >> >> Thanks again, >> Wes >> >> (and special thanks to Room11 for their feedback about the RFC process) >> > > What's the reason for making seekKey() return a boolean?
