Re: Array spread append

Call me sentimental, but are we just trying to choke out the few remaining reasons to keep array_push() in the language? Okay, yeah, sometimes at is a drag that the first parameter has to be declared in advance and is modified by reference (which means you can't enjoy null coalescing or short ternary syntax directly in the first parameter) but... The whole purpose of array_push() is to append one or more elements to an array. Spreading the second parameter makes this task simple/clean. https://3v4l.org/RcKRD I feel like PHP already has an extensive toolbelt for merging array data. I am not yet sold on this new/strange implementation of the spread operator. Mick Harner mickmackusa
