I believe you were reading more into it. I mention by-ref so it's easy to know if i'm talking about the existing or new proposed param. I'm not bothered by the by-ref param being skipped over to get to the 5th one, it's a hit I'm willing to take to achieve necessary functionality on str_replace(). If nobody has any further concerns I'll go ahead and create this new parameter and provide a PR on github accordingly.
