Changing this would break a lot of scripts.
And what's wrong with specifying too many parameters? If you don't use them explicitly,
they don't influence the function, so why care about them?

Currently, it seems PHP is designed NOT to report errors for too many paramaters for user defined
functions.

"..." for variable length paramters. Raise error without "...", for example.

function foo($var1, $var2, ...)

assert(count(function_get_args()) <= 3);
or like can be used to check num of paramters, but module functions checks num of parameters. User
functions are better to behave the same way by default. IMHO.
