Ok, I can see how it can be inconvenient for
session_set_cookie_params(), though calling it "extremely" unfriendly
is some exaggeration IMO. But while I didn't quote that part of your
message, you did also suggest to apply the same decision to other
functions and so I am talking about all of them.

I'd be ok with this for session_set_cookie_params() alone, but not for
set[raw]cookie().

Honestly, the fact that you chose "expires" for this particular
example IMO only makes a stronger case for why it needs to be
separated. :)
