Would you look on this feature in a different light if the above

These were just some notes on implementation details, they don't
really impact my overall opinion of the RFC. I should also say that
I'm not strongly opposed here, I'm just not convinced this is
worthwhile :) The complexity of the feature would be rather easy to
overlook if I felt the functionality was important.
I myself think one should take into account that this is a feature
that would make PHP stand out even more. Not being a follower of
other languages here :-)
Heh, it's the other way around for me: This just makes me more
apprehensive. Is there some special property of PHP that makes this
feature more relevant to us than other languages? All other mainstream
languages do well without this feature, so why do we need it?

Well, I think the weak spot in the RFC is the motivation why do we need it.
OTOH, Larry posted the "The case for partials and pipes in PHP":
-
https://peakd.com/hive-168588/@crell/the-case-for-partials-and-pipes-in-php
Two things caught my eye there, namely the Health check & HTTP pipeline
and also the Scalar thing. Think it would have been good if these had been
part of the discussion phase and also highlighted a little in the RFC
itself.
So do you think these are good motivations on why we need it?
