Hi internals!
Hi Nikita :-),




I'd like to propose an RFC, which adds dedicated syntax for variadic
functions:


     https://wiki.php.net/rfc/variadics


Basically this allows declaring variadics directly in the function
signature, rather than fetching the arguments using func_get_args().
Example:


     public function query($query, ...$params) { /* ... */ }


What are your thoughts on this?
Huge +1!

So if we call query('foo'), $params is set to an empty array, right? Could it be possible to change this behavior? Would it be interesting? For example: public function query($query, ...$params = null).

Cheers.
