Hi internals,
I've recently started a thread on resurrecting the named arguments proposal
(https://externals.io/message/109549), as this has come up tangentially in
some recent discussions around attributes and around object ergonomics.
I've now updated the old proposal on this topic, and moved it back under
discussion: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/named_params
Relative to the last time I've proposed this around PHP 5.6 times, I think
we're technically in a much better spot now when it comes to the support
for internal functions, thanks to the stubs work.
I think the recent acceptance of the attributes proposal also makes this a
good time to bring it up again, as phpdoc annotations have historically had
support for named arguments, and this will make migration to the
language-provided attributes smoother.
Regards,
Nikita
