Hello,
I can't grasp the "intent" behind the "as". Reading it like "parameter
$sum and parameter type as $sum + $scores[$type]" seems pretty
confusing to me.
Also, if we look at the example from RFC - with your "as" suggestion,
it would look like this:
function reduce(callable $fn) {
return $initial as $input as {
$accumulator = $initial;
foreach ($input as $value) {
$accumulator = $fn($accumulator, $value);
}
return $accumulator;
};
}
This doesn't seem like the right way to me. :(
