What do you think this will actually give you productivity wise? Proper call-site elision of uninteresting, should-stay-at-their-defaults arguments. Better call-site readability because the options in use will be named explicitly. I have four or five places in our internal codebase where the $options-array approach is already used for these reasons, and where we feel the pain of explicitly managing that that is nicely described in the RFC. best regards Patrick
