I don't, but I could see that viewpoint where Phil is coming from when he talks about the fact that functions can end up with 2 different goals, and then when we want to enhance them we end up with multiple behaviors in a single function and way too many option flags.

Generally using functions for two different purposes is a bad idea, but enhancing functions with additional arguments that extend its functionality is not too bad. In this case, adding n arguments is perhaps the extension that makes the most sense for isset(), so we should go with it. Keeping it with one argument 'for future use' doesn't make much sense in my opinion. Not any more sense than saying the same thing about some new argument someone might want to add to it in the future - why not keep it clean and wait for a 'better' use? Zeev
