What is the benefit of the new API, documents better, has a longer name, helps some fuzzing suit to determine if functions take args or not?
It produces much better & verbose error messages error messages. Take a look at these for example: 5_3> ./sapi/cli/php -r 'strlen(1,2,3);' Warning: strlen() expects exactly 1 parameter, 3 given in Command line code on line 1 5_3> ./sapi/cli/php -r 'strlen(array());' Warning: strlen() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in Command line code on line 1 5_2> ./sapi/cli/php -r 'strlen(1,2,3);' Warning: Wrong parameter count for strlen() in Command line code on line 1 Notice the difference?

Cool, that's a good change, I'll keep it mind for future code.

Also, is this documented anywhere?
.._none() might be not documented, but it's used everywhere. I believe it should be mentioned in README.PARAMETER_PARSING_API if it's not there yet.

Yes, that would be helpful to have in there. Ilia Alshanetsky
