Regards, StefanWhile ideally it'd be nice to have named parameters used in the core of PHP, I realize that's probably an impossible task at the moment. So I agree that the main goal is to allow users to define APIs in PHP using this feature. If that's all we had, it'd be good enough I think. (At least, it'd certainly serve my needs. :) )So far there is no difference between a user level and an internal function from a callers point of view, adding such an asymmetry now really doesn't sound like the right thing to do ...
