Could you add a paragraph or two explaining the reasons for choosing this particular proposal? Some examples of what I would like to read: - why we can't do preg_replace_callback($array_of_regexes, $array_of_callbacks, $subject) - why not preg_replace_callback($array_of_regex_to_callback_pairs, $subject) - why not pass the regex used to the callback, as per Laruence's earlier RFC And give a few links to historical discussions in the same sort of area? E.g Laruence's RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/second_arg_to_preg_callback and its discussion thread (http://php.markmail.org/thread/qwiyq5o2vwlbdczq). > Any objections? > > > — > Best, > Wei Dai > >
