### Description Support for the upcoming version 8.6 of PHP. _(Scheduled to be released in late November 2026)_ ### Use case/motivation The [PHP RFC: Partial Function Application (v2)](https://wiki.php.net/rfc/partial_function_application_v2) introduces a native syntax to pre-fill some arguments of a function call while leaving others open for later. The syntax uses a `?` placeholder for a single open argument (e.g., `str_replace('hello', 'hi', ?)`) and `...` for remaining variadic arguments, completely removing the need to write verbose, custom anonymous arrow functions. Calling a function this way returns a standard `Closure` object that only expects the remaining missing arguments. This feature drastically cleans up functional-style programming, making it highly readable when using inline callbacks or chaining operations with the pipe operator. ### Related issues _No response_ ### Are you willing to submit a pull request?
