I want to avoid inconsistency with the behaviour of extension functions (i.e. zend_parse_parameters) where possible, though. Since this has come up so much, I should probably make an RFC to change this aspect of ZPP’s behaviour. > I am also not a fan of errors, exception, at least for methods, make > much more sense.

To get this changed, I think we’ll just have to wait for Nikita’s Exceptions in the Engine for PHP 7 RFC. Thanks. -- Andrea Faulds http://ajf.me/
