| * I don't want to be in a situation where there are a large number of ''iterator_*()'' functions, where some accept ''Traversable'' and some accept ''iterable''. | * I don't want to be in a situation where there are a large number of ''iterator_*()'' functions, where some accept ''Traversable'' and some accept ''iterable''. |
| | * I also don't want to be in a situation where some have $iterator as a named argument (since PHP 8.0, e.g. ''iterator_to_array()'') and others have $iterable. |
| | * If I was choosing names from scratch, ''*foo(iterable $iterable, ...)'' would make more sense than ''iterator_foo(iterable $iterator)'' |

| * My preference would be to add new ''iterable_apply()'', ''iterable_count()'', and ''iterable_to_array()'' functions instead of modifying the existing methods. This would be possible to polyfill, and it would be less likely that code developed for 8.1+ would pass arrays that would be rejected by php 8.0 and older. | * My preference would be to add new ''iterable_apply()'', ''iterable_count()'', and ''iterable_to_array()'' functions instead of modifying the existing methods.

| | * Any alternative RFCs to change the behaviors of ''iterator_apply()'', ''iterator_count()'', and ''iterator_to_array()'' can be done independently of adding ''*any()'' and ''*all()''. |
