Subject: [RFC] Skipping parameters take 2
From: smalyshev@sugarcrm.com (Stas Malyshev)

Hi!

I've finally took some time to revive the skipping parameter RFC and
patch. For those who doesn't remember what it is please see:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/skipparams
TLDR version:

The idea is to allow skipping parameters in function with optional
arguments so that this:
   function create_query($where, $order_by, $join_type='INNER', $execute
= false, $report_errors = true)

can be called like this:
    create_query("deleted=0", "name", default, default,
/*report_errors*/ true);

Instead of trying to remember what the defaults are.
The patch is here:

https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/426

Any comments or feedback on the RFCs and the code are welcome,
especially pointing out the cases where it may not work (which means we
need more phpt's there :)
