--00000000000049f8f906582c2f43 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello internals, Would this change be acceptable to merge without an RFC? https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/22589 It adds =E2=80=9Cdid you mean =E2=80=A6?=E2=80=9D suggestions to errors for= undefined functions. While it does not change language semantics, it changes error messages and introduces additional checks on error paths, so I would like to confirm whether consensus on the PR is sufficient or an RFC is expected. If the sentiment is positive, I would like to pursue this direction for methods, classes, constants etc. Similar approach is used in Python or Ruby already: - Python: https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.10.html#nameerrors - Ruby: https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/3.3/DidYouMean.html Kind regards, Jorg --00000000000049f8f906582c2f43 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"><div><p class=3D"gmail-isSelectedEnd"><span>Hello internal= s,</span></p><p class=3D"gmail-isSelectedEnd"><span>Would this change be ac= ceptable to merge without an RFC?</span></p><p class=3D"gmail-isSelectedEnd= "><a href=3D"https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/22589"><span>https://githu= b.com/php/php-src/pull/22589</span></a></p><p><span>It adds =E2=80=9Cdid yo= u mean =E2=80=A6?=E2=80=9D suggestions to errors for undefined functions.
