Read Original

This article examines the debate among PHP open source maintainers regarding named arguments. It addresses concerns about increased maintenance and backwards compatibility risks, arguing that maintainers should trust users and treat parameter name changes as acceptable. It also highlights how named arguments provide a cleaner syntax for passing data to variadic functions compared to arrays.
