Getting off-topic here, but array_map()'s parameter order matters. Because
it can receive one or more arrays, the callback should be the first
parameter to afford, say, spreading the rows of a multidimensional array
during transposition. The same "spreadability" logic should apply to
array_*diff*(), array_*intersect*(), and array_multisort(). If we were
going for consistency, always write callbacks as the first parameter for
any function that has one. In other words, parameters which can be repeated
more than once must be list as the last parameter.
It is clear that this RFC is seeking success by making the smallest
possible, very practical change. While it is healthy to explore deviations,
I like the RFC on it's own because it makes PHP more adaptable to writing
elegant code with fewer temporary variables.
