Tim, Morgan

Thanks for your comments. I did not realise that this would be easily
implemented by using `array_any`. This means that the RFC that I was
planning to create is not actually needed

Cheers

I agree. Especially since the Partial Function Application RFC was <br>
accepted an ad-hoc implementation would just be:<br>
<br>
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0$str =3D &#39;bazinga&#39;;<br>
<br>
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0$strStartsWithAny =3D \array_any([&#39;foo&#39;, &#39;b=
ar&#39;, &#39;baz&#39;], <br>
\str_starts_with($str, ?));<br>
<br>
I have also added an optimization to PHP 8.6 that compiles `array_map()` <b=
r>
into a foreach loop when the callback is first class callable or PFA: <br>
<a href=3D"https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/20934" rel=3D"noreferrer" ta=
