RE: [PHP-DEV] [RFC] [VOTE] Throw exception for invalid characters in number base functions

Hi, I've voted against on this RFC, and the only reason is the choice of a generic \Exception. The original Base Convert Improvements RFC ( <https://wiki.php.net/rfc/base_convert_improvements> https://wiki.php.net/rfc/base_convert_improvements) already set out the intended path: > This vote will be to raise a E_DEPRECATED warning for PHP 7.4. Raising to be an InvalidArgumentException in PHP 8 I agree with moving away from ValueError for the reasons given in the RFC. However, InvalidArgumentException, which was the exception originally agreed upon, wasn't brought up. The Rejected Features section notes that SPL exceptions shouldn't be thrown from ext/standard. If that's the blocker, I'd rather see it resolved (or a dedicated exception class introduced) than have a core function throw a bare \Exception, which users can only catch together with every other exception.
