[RFC] [VOTE] Parameter skipping RFC

Hi!

I'd like to announce a vote on parameter skipping RFC:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/skipparams

TLDR: it allows using "default" to specify that parameter has the
default value when calling function with optional parameter, like this:
create_query("deleted=0", "name", default, /*report_errors*/ true)

The implementation is mostly finished, there may be some things needed
for merging etc. or small improvements, but I'd like to have a vote on
general concept first.

The vote is straight yes/no vote, and closes in 2 weeks from now.

Thanks,

Hi,

After discussing this RFC with other people at AFUP, we would be -1.

Basically, even though not having to specify the default-value for some
parameters could be useful in some situations, this approach doesn't
"feel right" and we would really prefer something like named-parameters
(even if this RFC is not incompatible with named-parameters and they
most likely won't make it for PHP 7.0).

Thanks

I see a LOT of "no" votes against this RFC but can't find the thread
outlining the reasoning for such resistence.

Could someone link me to this somehow?

I think my attempts to explain that this was a step towards named
params, not a contradiction with them, failed - people read it, say "we
understood it" and the say "no, we don't want it, we want named params
instead!". Well, let's hope somebody (not me) writes a patch for named
params instead. In the meantime, 7.0 will have neither.
