Re: feature request

My earlier post to the list doesn't seem to have arrived yet, so here it is again. You'll note from the posting that I'm not keen on the patch staying in. There are considerable efforts being made by several of us on the QA team trying to make the language more orthogonal, and this kind of ad hoc addition really doesn't help. ************ >That is the only thing that I see of any real use as well.

I was really voting no for the original feature - just returning true or false - unless it can be shown (and implemented) that iswhatever(multiple args) will work sensibly across the board, and that implementing iswhatever(multiple args) does not waste the function namespace for a new feature - e.g. loads of php functions take optional extra arguments to modify their behaviour, but once iswhatever gained the multi argument functionality described, it would be impossible to extend the functionality in this way.
