That sounds like a practical approach that served us well so far. The [named parameters](https://wiki.php.net/rfc/named_params) was proposed in 2013. Does the problems which stopped us before still exist in 2019? Since we all agree named parameter should be a better solution, why not take a look at it first? Best regards, CHU Zhaowei
