I've updated https://wiki.php.net/rfc/any_all_on_iterable_straw_poll_namesp=
ace to be a vote on the namespace choice rather than only Spl\ options.=0A=
I plan to start voting on that straw poll in a few days, with the vote left=
 open for 2 weeks.=0A=
=0A=
If there's a clear preference for a namespace, I plan to start a second STV=
 straw poll between iterable_any(), NS\any(), NS\any_value, and NS\iterable=
_any() (if appropriate), for the preferred namespace.=0A=
=0A=
