> Named arguments is okay I suppose, but IDEs solve knowing the order of arguments. Named arguments are incredibly helpful for functions with a bunch of optional parameters, like setcookie() -- instead of setcookie("cookiename", "value", 0, "", "", false, true); to set httponly (the last argument), you can now skip over the unused parameters and write: setcookie("cookiename", "value", httponly: true); Not only is this more concise, but it's also self-documenting!
