That was an argument in 2015. Today is 2019. We still have no named parameters. And we could have had this functionality for four years. But by all means, let's wait another 5 years before we can discuss again that we shouldn't implement functionality that we could have today because maybe in 5 years we could have a better one which nobody is working on and nobody has any idea how to accomplish. That sounds like a practical approach that served us well so far. -- Stas Malyshev smalys...@gmail.com -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
