 New Comment:

Not only function calls could work this way for a smoother workflow, methods and functions
definitions also :

function my_funtion($param1, $param2,)
{
    // ...
}

Especially with a lot of parameters :

function my_funtion(
   $param1, 
   $param2,
   ...,
   $paramN,
) {
    // ...
}

for the record, here comes a RFC by Sara:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/trailing-comma-function-args

------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2013-02-08 21:38:57] php at paulisageek dot com

Description:
------------
In our code we require everyone to put a trailing , in array declarations so that 
blame stays clean. Like when:

$foo = array(
  1,
)

becomes

$foo = array(
  1,
  2,
)

Then only 1 line has changed. But for function calls, when

$foo = foo(
  1
)

becomes

$foo = foo(
  1,
  2
)

now 2 lines blame to you.

Allowing the same syntax for function calls as array creation would be great.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
function id($x) { return $x; }

id(1,);

Expected result:
----------------
It runs.

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: syntax error, unexpected ')'
