 Symmetry between arrays and named parameters would be desirable as otherwise it could cause confusion. This RFC would ensure it. Symmetry between arrays and named parameters would be desirable as otherwise it could cause confusion. This RFC would ensure it.
  
-This also complements the [[rfc:bare_name_array_dereference|Bare Name Array Dereference]] RFC, as both this proposal and that one deal with using bare T_STRING names for array keys.+Even without named parameters, this makes it nicer to use functions which take an array of options. For example: 
 + 
 +<code php> 
 +$ctx = stream_context_create([http: [method: "GET", header: "Accept-language: en", user_agent: 'Foo-Bot', protocol_version: 1.1]]); 
 + 
 +// or 
 + 
 +$hash = password_hash($_POST['pwd'], PASSWORD_BCRYPT, [salt: $secure_salt, cost: 25]); 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +This makes creating JSON more convenient, too: 
 + 
 +<code php> 
 +// Real example 
 +$ws->send(json_encode([ 
 +    type: 'join', 
 +    room: $player->currentRoom, 
 +    nick: $player->curretName, 
 +    x: 0, 
 +    y: 0, 
 +    avatar: 'foo.png' 
 +])); 
 +</code>

 +This complements the [[rfc:bare_name_array_dereference|Bare Name Array Dereference]] RFC, as both this proposal and that one deal with using bare T_STRING names for array keys.
