For native functions passing parameters in excess of the function’s 
arity will throw an `ArgumentCountError`:

     php > define('X', 'X', true, 'extra');
     PHP Warning:  Uncaught ArgumentCountError: define() expects at most 
3 arguments, 4 given in php shell code:1

Making it explicit (and deciding) that the parameter will go in PHP 9 is 
a good thing.
