Hello internals, I wanted to propose an RFC, but i'd like to check first if this idea has been considered before already.
My idea, extremely summarized, would be to take the functions that return false/null when they 'error', and instead make them actually throw an error. Currently, functions like getcwd or json_decode will return false/null when an error occurs, and they populate a global error state, which can be retrieved by error_get_last, or similar functions. json_decode already got the JSON_THROW_ON_ERROR option in PHP 7.3, and this RFC would basically make that behaviour default. This RFC would target PHP 8.0, but i'd like to hear some opinions on this.
