Hello,
From PHP 5.6 we have possibility to add variadic functions and unpacking
arrays via *...*
Would be nice to extend responsibility of *...*. Sometimes in code I can
find lines similar to the following:

$result = array_merge(['some value'], ['some other value'], $array);


I would like to shorten this line to the following:

$result = ['some value', ['some other value'], ...$array];


And even allow to unpack more than one array:

$result = ['some value', ['some other value'], ...$array, ...$secondArray];


Using new operator we can produce shorter and more clearable code. I would
like to create RFC for my proposal. If you think idea can be useful, please
give me an access for creating RFC.

Best regards
