| req (required) or rep (repeat).

| Many languages allow a variable number of arguments. If the argument type is

I suppose. Funcsynopsis has varargs for this though. I guess
methodsynopsis doesn't have anything similar. Maybe it's ok, it just
struck me as weird. What would it mean to say
<methodsynopsis>
<methodname>foo</>
<methodparam>
<parameter>param1</>
</methodparam>
<methodparam rep="repeat">
<parameter>param2</>
</methodparam>
<methodparam>
<parameter>param3</>
</methodparam>
...
Be seeing you,

There are several PHP functions dealing with processing arrays.
A few of them take at least 1 array and a callback. The callback is the last parameter, so...
array array_uintersect(array array1, array array2 [, array ...], callback data_compare_func)
is the expected output.
I'm not too sure if the second param is repeatable (to me repeatable implies optional otherwise how many times must it be repeated) or is the third parameter optional but also repeatable?
I'm sure there's a difference!
