Hi Larry, I hope your trip through the trap door is largely uneventful with a smooth integration into 8.5. My only question: why does this implementation care if you specify too many arguments when PHP doesn’t care if you call a function with too many arguments? I think it’s a good thing that it cares, and I think PHP itself should care, but should this RFC change that expectation? — Rob
