I do, though code completion, type hinting, etc. would be nice. It
would nice if it was consistenly added so that built-in functions had
that behavior, since no one can use the array hack for those. But lots
of things would be nice, so I don't really care. Seems like too much
work for the benefit. And there are downsides not even mentioned in
this thread (parameter names are now seen (which is obvious, until you
really think about it), they gain longevity, language issues, etc.).
Not to mention, we might be tempted to go back and rewrite stuff and
that would not be an effecient use of our time.
But "rare occurrences"? That was pretty funny! Sadly...
