Today is 2019. We still have no named = parameters. And we could have had this functionality for four years. But = by all means, let's wait another 5 years before we can discuss again = that we shouldn't implement functionality that we could have today = because maybe in 5 years we could have a better one which nobody is = working on and nobody has any idea how to accomplish. That sounds like a = practical approach that served us well so far. The [named parameters](https://wiki.php.net/rfc/named_params) was = proposed in 2013. Does the problems which stopped us before still exist = in 2019? Since we all agree named parameter should be a better solution, = why not take a look at it first? Best regards, CHU Zhaowei
