Now that we have named arguments, the issue of long and complicated list =
of arguments is considerably weaken, since you can write:

array_column($foo, column_key: 'name', grouping: true);

in lieu of:

array_column($foo, null, 'name', true)

Also, an alternative to a new function, is reusing the same function =
with an alternative signature, as it was done for setcookie:

https://www.php.net/manual/fr/function.setcookie.php =
<https://www.php.net/manual/fr/function.setcookie.php>

I have no opinion about which of the three approaches (new parameter, =
same function with alternative signature, new function) is better; I =
just mention the various alternatives.
