I have failed the "state the goal and not the task" rule, sorry.
So, my goal is to pass a variable number of arguments of which some
could be references. I believed that this needs calltime by-ref calls
but obviously need. For func_get_arg, a simple flag could suffice. For
func_gets_args, I do not really know -- maybe a param to take all by
ref, similar to EXTR_REFS.
I think it would make sense to submit is as feature request to bugs.php.net, including the code examples you had in the blog. This would allow better tracking.
