I'd like propose optional support for explicitly marking by-reference
argument passing at the call-site, in addition to the declaration-site:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/explicit_send_by_ref
In short, while currently we have
function byRef(&$ref) {...}
byRef($var);
this proposal would also allow
function byRef(&$ref) {...}
byRef(&$var);
so that the use of by-reference passing is obvious without having to
consult the function declaration
IMHO a bad idea after "PHP Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has
been removed" not that long ago which was exactly the same syntax
