Hi folks. Arnaud and I would like to present take-2 at Partial Function Application.
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/partial_function_application_v2
It is largely similar to the previous PFA proposal from 2021, though there are a number of changes.
Most notably:
* The implementation is simpler, because FCC already did part of the work. This RFC can build on
it.
* Constructors are not supported.
* But optional arguments and named placeholders are supported.
* It includes pipe-based optimizations.
Note: We realize that this is a non-trivial RFC coming late in the cycle. We are proposing it now
because, well, it's ready now. If the discussion goes smoothly, we're OK calling a vote
on it for 8.5, especially as it would complement pipes so well. If the discussion runs longer,
we're also OK with targeting 8.6 instead. We'll see how that goes.
<floor opens for discussion, Larry falls through the trap door>
