You should propose it here and then create a rfc about it in the php
wiki, which is finally voted.

I don't think this is a good addition.

Are you aware that you could use arrays here?
function multi() {
return array(10, 20);
}
list($x, $y) = multi();
echo $y; // echoes 20
For passing to a new function it is a bit uglier but still easy:
echo call_user_func_array('sum', multi()); // echoes 30
Functions could be changed to receive the members of an array as the
different arguments, but that would conflict with passing an array as
the first argument. It would be also harder to read the code, too.
