The 'Skip Params' RFC (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/skipparams) went to
vote and was declined.
The 'named params' RFC (https://wiki.php.net/rfc/named_params) author
has been working on stuff they feel is more important.

You can do this right now, if you want to:
getIdByTitle('sample', $insert = true);

You shouldn't need it for the case where you're actually already using
a parameter e.g. getIdByTitle('sample', $insert); already indicates
what the parameter is. The only place where you could argue this
syntax is needed is when you're passing in just a bare 'true' which
has no syntactic meaning associated with it.
That syntax works for all versions of PHP, so I guess a new syntax
that achieves the same thing is unlikely to be that popular an idea.
