Not according to the RFC: > Per discussion on the PR <https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/2031#issuecomment-238366706> I have limited this RFC to not raise warnings when setting any value by use of list(). It says nothing about treating NULL specially, it just implies list() will be out of scope of the RFC completely. Regards, -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]
