Re: [RFC][VOTE] Allow specifying keys in list()

Hi Levi, Levi Morrison wrote:

I wanted to chime in since I voted no. I'm not strongly opposed to this behavior but I do have concerns about the key behavior that was changed. In an example in the RFC:

     list($foo => $bar) = $array;

I don't think this really makes sense. $foo is being evaluated and its value is used to look up the key in $array, but $bar is being assigned to even though it's a similar place as $foo. I don't think I've really expressed well what I am trying to convey but I think this RFC would be much better *without* this change, so I've voted no.

Well, this is why we have discussion periods. I brought this up before as an open issue. Nobody told me they objected to it, and everyone who did respond told me they favoured the current behaviour. I decided, therefore, that the risk of confusion was low. -- Andrea Faulds https://ajf.me/
