Hi Internals
I've come across a case where it would've been useful if iterator_to_array() would accept iterable instead of Traversable to avoid checking whether the input variable already is an array.
To not repeat what I've already written in my proposed PR, please see:
https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/8819
for more details.
In response to my question whether this would require an RFC or whether this is simple enough, cmb pointed to a previous RFC that proposed *adding* a new function iterable_to_array() which was declined:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/iterable_to_array-and-iterable_count
cmb also suggested that for this reason this topic should at least be shortly discussed on the list, which I intend to do with this email:
- Do you believe that my PR requires an RFC / do you want to see an RFC for this?
- Would you object to extending 'iterator_to_array' from Traversable to iterable (i.e. to Traversable|array)?
Best regards
